Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jpochyla/psst/issues/157

With the new nightly release, app crashes when I select a category from the sidebar. Opening preferences and entering data works.

Error message: "permission denied"

Doesn't happen when starting in terminal with "sudo".

Platform: Macos Catalina

Sounds like you don't have the permissions to save the config file?

Yes, that seems right. I'm am not sure if I can contribute to solve this.

Unfortunately I'm not sure why that would be the case, Psst is trying to create the config dir in a directory that should be user-writable.
