Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently if you change the DownloadDir the directory you set will always be inside the mangadesk folder. This makes it harder to organize big collections in one folder.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice if DownloadDir used ~/Pictures/Mangas for example instead of creating a ~/Pictures/Mangas folder in its own folder.

you can actually make the downloads go to any folder by starting your path with / or using environment variables like $HOME, but you cant do it with ~ since those are usually expanded by the terminal and cant be done programmatically.

for example to save the files in the Downloads folder u can set the path up to be /home/usr/Downloads or $HOME/Downloads
