Bug Description

I originally had my destination save point on a drive that had to be mounted to work. This is no longer the case, so LottaNZB won't open and I can't change the destination point because I get this message : Exiting: Fatal Error unable to create directory for option : HellaNZB.DEST_DIR
dirname : /media/DATA error:[Errno 13]
Permission denied: '/media/DATA'

I understand why permission is denied - this location no longer exists - but how do I change it to point somewhere else if it won't open the program to let me change the preferences?

Thanks in advance!

Proposed fix: Fall back to the default download directory if HellaNZB.DEST_DIR doesn't exist. In this case LottaNZB will be able to successfully launch the HellaNZB daemon.

Is it enough if the change is reported as a warning in the log messages?
