[Feature]: Custom SQLite Database Location #31

@altaskur

Description

@altaskur

Problem Statement

Currently, the SQLite database is stored in a default system folder (likely AppData or Application Support). This makes it difficult for users to:

Keep their data in a cloud-synced folder (like Dropbox or OneDrive).

Perform manual backups in a specific drive.

Share data between different portable installations.

Proposed Solution

Add an option in the 'Settings' (Configuración) menu to 'Move Database' or 'Select Database Path'.

It should open a native 'Save/Open' dialog.

The app should handle moving the existing storage.sqlite file to the new location.

The app must update its internal configuration to point to the new path on future boots.

Alternatives Considered

Manually editing a .env or config file, but this is too technical for the average user and prone to errors.
