Subject: [PATCH] theseus 0.3.51: profile relocation looks for the actual old
 dir name
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

0.3.50's relocateProfile checked for %APPDATA%\Theseus Navigator\, but
Electron's userData path is derived from app.getName(), which reads
package.json's top-level "name" ("theseus-navigator") because there is
no top-level productName — the "productName": "Theseus Navigator" in
this file lives under "build", where electron-builder reads it for the
installer, not where Electron reads it for the runtime path. So the
folder the user's Theseus writes to is %APPDATA%\theseus-navigator\,
never %APPDATA%\Theseus Navigator\.

On 0.3.50 that meant relocateProfile found nothing at its search path,
returned the new Theseus\ location, and Electron happily created a
fresh empty profile there. The user's addons, vault, bookmarks and
settings stayed in theseus-navigator\ but the running Theseus was no
longer looking at them. Losing the vault is not something the user
can recover from.

Check both candidate names — the one the code was written for and the
one that actually exists — and migrate whichever is present. If the
new Theseus\ already exists (Windows fresh installs after 0.3.51), we
leave it alone.
