Sync parameters are saved in the synchronized data

When using the Sync feature with a local file, the sync path is actually shared in the synchronized data which can be a problem when using in different machines with different paths.

Your Environment

• Version used: 7.8.0 - AUR version
• Operating System and version: Archlinux
• Desktop Environment: Cinnamon

Expected Behavior

The sync path is not shared in the synchronized data, so that we can use different paths and keep data synchronized.

Current Behavior

The sync path is synchronized.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Assuming there’s a nextcloud setup (but would work with any sync of file)
2. On computer 1, configure Superproductivity to sync on local file in path /home/user/nextcloud/superproductivity
3. Sync nextcloud on computer 2 with path for directory being: /home/user2/nextcloud
4. Configure superproductivity on computer 2 to Sync using /home/user2/nextcloud/superproductivity
5. When asking which data to use, answer to use remote data
6. See that the Sync path changed in preferences

I tried removing them manually in the synced file - they were readded with the next sync. However I should add that I don’t use the local file sync anymore but switched to WebDAV (with Nextcloud). It still adds the setting to the synced file (along with all the other sync settings - especially the login data for WebDAV, but that is another issue).

I’m not sure, if it is relevant, but I also used the same cloud-file with the import function to initially setup SP on the second machine. I do not know if the imported file is used as data store afterwards (I hope not).

In Version 7.10.1 (microsoft store install) I still find the sync settings in the synced local file.
