Issue Details

I am building my application on my PC running Ubuntu OS. When using a custom configuration file, it ignores the file I selected and creates a new AppName.conf file. 

Solution

An application built for Ubuntu OS should not have the .exe extension; otherwise, it will prevent the custom configuration file from working properly. Be careful when migrating a project from Windows OS to Ubuntu OS, as your project will have the .exe extension by default, which can be safely removed before building the executable
