PostProcessingPlugin: Inconsistent scripts location when running AppImage #3356

@jypma

Description

@jypma

In #2645 (and, linked from there, nallath/PostProcessingPlugin#48) it's suggested that when running from the (immutable) AppImage, one can add custom scripts to the PostProcessingPlugin. The actual location used may however depend on the concrete linux distribution and/or python.

For arch linux, ~/.config/cura/3.2/scripts seems to be auto-created and used; for other distributions, ~/.local/share/cura/3.2/scripts may be correct. It should be noted that, even on arch, other user data files (like the log) indeed are in ~/.local/share/cura/3.2/.

Documentation could be updated to reflect this; however, one could argue that the more appropriate script location is indeed ~/.local/share, and not ~/.config.

Application Version
3.2.1

Platform
Linux, Arch
