Bug Description

Hello,

With the version 0.8.5 using appimage it starts to create a folder in my system with name "appflowy". The problem is the other versions use the folder with the name "AppFlowy".

Anyway, it was simple to solve: I just closed the program, deleted the new "appflowy" folder and renamed my old folder for "appflowy".

I believe it is a bug and does not a purposeful change...

How to Reproduce

Download the version of 0.8.4 appimage and open it
Download the version of 0.8.5 appimage and open it and you will see that the program open like it's the first time
Go to the your folders and you will see two different folders: "appflowy" (New version) and "AppFlowy" (Old version)

Expected Behavior

The new version 0.8.5 keep saving in the same folder with the name "AppFlowy"

Operating System

Linux Mint 21.2

AppFlowy Version(s)

0.8.5

Screenshots

No response

Additional Context

@Rasterisko Which folder path are you referring to? The application folder or the file storage folder? I just checked, and the file storage folder path is /home/<user>/.local/share/io.appflowy.appflowy/data, the same as in the previous version.

@LucasXu0 The file storage folder. We don't need the application folder for appimage.
Here is /home//.local/share/AppFlowy
But now with the version 0.8.5 it changed the folder to /home//.local/share/appflowy

@Rasterisko I have built the new AppImage. The folder path for the image is now AppFlowy.
