Requests: Windows Installer Package && Minimize to Tray || Windows Service about unpackerr HOT 6 CLOSED

Change the default configuration directory to %userprofile%\.unpackerr for windows, and ~\.unpackerr for linux. This is more inline with most applications that I've used that follow this dot-directory style, with it being in the user's home path.

This makes sense on windows and maybe even macOS, but for Linux the packages create an unpackerr user and group and systemd runs the application as this combo. This allows a user to run their apps as different users, but assign file permissions and group membership to allow access among apps. This is the most common way I've seen to run a daemon on Linux.

EDIT: but it does give me another idea for config file location on Linux I'm going to look into.

So I've got a tray icon for windows and macOS. It's pretty minimal but it opens the door to more things. I'm unlikely to create an msi installer any time soon. It requires building on Windows, and I'm not ready for that can of worms. I did add some better defaults for the GUI apps for config and log files. Next release will have these features.

I would agree excepting that the main purpose is for arr apps, all of which are programdata on windows

I'm adding a new setup that looks in a number of places for a config file. All of the above are in the paths list.

A tray icon is forthcoming.
