Config silently fails to load on start

Hello,

I'm attempting to setup on_motion_preview_save as explained in the configuration example however any changes I make to ~/.pikrellcam/pikrellcam.conf do not appear to be picked up upon restarting.

I've tried adding an invalid line and it doesn't complain. I believe it may simply use the default config without any notification.

Thanks for this awesome project and all the hard work!

Here's the output of running it with -v

Hello, I'm having the same problem, I think. Currently running ver 4.3.2. I created the pikrellcam.config file and loaded some "on_motion_begin" scripts but nothing.
