Expected Behavior

No unnecessary folder creation, or respect for XDG desktop specification (ie: xdg-user-dir DOWNLOAD).

Current Behavior

launching OBS with browser sources added (active or not) creates a Downloads directory in $HOME, ignoring $XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Lauch OBS browser on Linux with browser source and XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR set to something besides $HOME/Downloads
  2. Observe creation of ~/Downloads
