Customizing Database Folder Location

[bjsvedin]

I know there are plans for changing how Insomnium data is stored in the future, but I am wondering if in the mean time we could customize where the current data schema is stored.

Currently they are stored here:

%APPDATA%\Insomnium on Windows
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/Insomnium or ~/.config/Insomnium on Linux
~/Library/Application\ Support/Insomnium on macOS

But I like to keep related data next to each other, and I have folders for my projects and other related items that I would like to store the Insomnium data with.

I fully support this idea @bjsvedin!

I came to Insomnium because there are things I don't like about the official Insomnia and not having the option to choose where to store the data is one of them. I'm using Insomnium Portable, so what I expected is that I could use it from a pendrive anywhere, without having to export my settings, collections, etc. every time.

I hope we have a solution as soon as possible, I'm confident :)
