Different Settings file path throws error

Uncaught Exception: Error: ENOENT: no such file … …\Settings

// main
import settings from 'electron-settings'

//...
app.setPath('userData', userDataPath + 'some addition');

//...
app.on('ready', function () {
  settings.get('whatver') // boom
}

I checked the path w/ settings.file and indeed it’s not updated on app.setPath.

fs.watch has a lot of caveats - should we really rely on it? At least we must state this in the docs. Dunno if that’s the origin my issue.

Whoops! Read your first statement wrong

1. No*
2. Just what you set
3. Yes

@nathanbuchar aren’t 1. and 2. contradicting?

Maybe I should make it more clear:

1.) Will existing settings (i. e. file contents) be copied to the new location upon the call of setPath()? -or- 2.) Will they be copied when I call set() and if yes what will be saved?
