Default location not sane, changing install location does not update download/input/output location

[Rabcor]

When installing comfyui on linux the default location is ~/ComfyUI-Shared this is not up to standard, this kind of software if installed on a per-user basis like this should be installed under subdirectories in ~/.local/ most likely ~/.local/share.

I changed the install location to just that during installation but afte rinstallation it says downloads, input and output still expect to go to the insane default.

Both of these problems need to be fixed.

Either install it properly on the system rather than to the user's home directory, or ensure that it defaults to a sane home subdirectory and ensure that if that install directory is changed during installation all other subdirectories within the installation get automatically updated as a result instead of remaining on the default.

Seconding this.

When updating from an older version of Comfy Desktop, when the paths to the input, output, workflows, and custom_nodes folders used to be "C:\Users\user\Documents\ComfyUI", new folders are created by the new Comfy Desktop install at the path "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Comfy-Desktop\ComfyUI-Installs\ComfyUI\ComfyUI".

The new installation does seem to READ and WRITE to the user's original/old input, output, and workflow folders, once you choose to "keep settings from your old Comfy Desktop installation" option.

However, the old custom_nodes folder is only READ from, any new Extensions that are downloaded are WRITTEN to the new custom_nodes folder.

This gets messy!
