Add an Option for Moving the Install about logoslinuxinstaller HOT 3 OPEN

NOTE: config.LOGOS_EXE is using an absolute path and needs to be relativized for this to be completed.

from logoslinuxinstaller.

A better approach might be a check on program start up (if an install is found at the config location) that verifies if the symlinks match the correct directory, and if not it auto-sets them to the appropriate directory.

Of course, the only problem with this is if someone does in fact want these to be different.

Example for my current install, showing the problem:

ll ~/Applications/LogosBible10/data/wine64_bottle/drive_c/users/thwright/
total 36K
drwxr-xr-x 9 thwright thwright 4.0K Jun 16  2023  ./
drwxr-xr-x 5 thwright thwright 4.0K Jun 16  2023  ../
drwxr-xr-x 5 thwright thwright 4.0K Jun 16  2023  AppData/

lrwxrwxrwx 1 thwright thwright   15 Jun 16  2023  Videos -> /home

As can be seen, my install is in ~/Applications but the symlinks are not pointed to the proper directory.

In the original request, the symlinks became broken, as in nonexistent, whereas these exist but are pointing to the wrong directories.

We would need to agree on where the directories should be pointing. Should it be a directory in the ~/Logos dir or the wine default of the user's environment?

Looking at this, I am not sure why these symlinks would have broken, but I remember the directories being regenerated.

Notably, one part of this issue is that the missing symlinks are actually symlink dirs for my install. That is, /home/thwright/Music is a symlink to /storage/Music. The symlink creation may be failing here because it is a symlink of a symlink, which seems more likely at this point.
