Describe the bug
Hello, I'm trying to get the ForgeData out of my AppData/C Drive but no matter what I'm trying it is not working.
I followed the instructions in the forge.profile.properties file but it still does not work.
(https://github.com/riking/mtg-forge/blob/master/forge-gui/forge.profile.properties.example)

To Reproduce
Open forge.profile.properties
Edit any path, for example change "userDir=" to "userDir=D:/ForgeData" save and close forge.profile.properties.
Launch forge.exe
Forge still uses the default AppData directory.

Expected behavior
I expected forge to use the "userDir=D:/ForgeData" path as set it the file. The path "userDir=D:/ForgeData" is the example given in the file, it should work.

Screenshots
I'll attach a screenshot of my forge.profile.properties file

does D:/ForgeData exist?

does your current user have read/write permissions for D:\ForgeData?

have you tried other settings overrides to make sure this file is being used by forge?

Hello and thank you for your reply.

Yes, D:/ForgeData does exist. I also tried C:/ForgeData and E:/ForgeData, no luck.

My PC has only one user and that's the admin user. So I guess, I have permission to read/write stuff.

I have no idea, how to even test if this file is used by Forge. I tried other settings but nothing did anything.
I don't know why something like this has to be so cryptic, the first thing Forge should ask is where to store all the files.
