Now we can only create a new data folder inside the app. Imagine if we could choose an external folder (either by selecting it in a window or entering the path) as the container, we could quickly save the application's data to a USB drive and use the same data to start the application on different devices without having to copy multiple copies.

duplicate of #683
Already implemented in nightly
Most apps crash if you save the data on an external device or network share, so it's barely usable
