Bug Report Title: Storyboarder Fails to Load Existing pref.json File while exporting to video

[ianparra]

Hi, I am truly enjoying this software. Thanks for providing such a powerful and fun tool! However, I am experiencing issues with exporting to video.

Description:
Storyboarder is unable to load the existing pref.json file located in C:\Users\computer\AppData\Roaming\Storyboarder. Despite the file being present and correctly formatted, the application throws an ENOENT error indicating that the file or directory could not be found, and subsequently loads default preferences.

Steps to Reproduce:

Open Storyboarder.
Wait for the application to attempt loading preferences.
Expected Behavior:
Storyboarder should successfully read the pref.json file and apply the saved preferences.

Actual Behavior:
The application fails to read the pref.json file, throwing the following error:

[2024-07-20 17:45:33.370] [info] Loading preferences from C:\Users\computer\AppData\Roaming\Storyboarder\pref.json
[2024-07-20 17:45:33.380] [error] Could not read prefs. Loading defaults.
[2024-07-20 17:45:33.383] [error] Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\Users\computer\AppData\Roaming\Storyboarder\pref.json'
As a result, Storyboarder loads default preferences instead.

I'm having the same problem with the AppImage in the Linux Mint. It just doesn't open.
