After updating to the latest version, I am unable to download any tracks. The application fails with a mkdir unknown: read-only file system error for every track. The previous version worked perfectly with the exact same configuration.

It appears the application is trying to create a directory literally named "unknown" at the root level (or an invalid relative path) instead of using the configured output path.

Environment:

OS: macOS Sequoia (Apple Silicon / M1 Max)

App Version: v6.7

Previous Working Version: 6.6

Steps to Reproduce:

Launch the application on macOS.

Load a playlist for download.

Start the download process.

Observed Behavior: The download fails immediately for all tracks. The logs show: error: [Track Name] - failed to create output directory: mkdir unknown: read-only file system

Expected Behavior: The application should use the configured output path and download files successfully, as it did in the previous version.

Troubleshooting Attempted:

Checked Full Disk Access permissions for the terminal/app (enabled).

Verified the output directory exists and is writable (chmod 777 verified).

Tried changing the output path to a simple absolute path (e.g., /Users/username/Music).

Result: The error persists regardless of the config settings, suggesting the app is ignoring the config path or parsing it incorrectly, defaulting to unknown.
