[GNC] Cashdera v1.0.0 — first stable release, now available for Windows, macOS, and Linux

[cashdera]

Hello Kim,

Thank you for the kind words. I’m glad to hear that you are enjoying 
Cashdera.

Yes, this is a real bug. At the moment, the export file is being written 
to the Downloads directory by default, even when a different target 
directory is selected.

This is not a Windows 11 issue on your side.

I will fix this in the next release so the export uses the directory 
selected by the user.

Thank you for reporting it.

Regards,
Ars
