Desktop app not using correct "Downloads" directory on windows

[svelle]

If you set your Downloads directory to something other than "User Home"/Downloads the Desktop app does not respect the new location.

Maybe this could help:

Also affected by this. Bug seems to be here:

desktop/src/common/config/defaultPreferences.ts

Lines 15 to 17 in fc13f87

	export const getDefaultDownloadLocation = (): string => {
	return path.join(os.homedir(), 'Downloads');
	};

Solution could be https://stackoverflow.com/a/50391890 . I'd open a PR but i'm not a node / js developer.

Just for some context, it seems that Electron isn't doing this properly either. app.getPath('downloads') always returns C:\Users\<username>\Downloads it seems. Not sure how it's calculating that
