Missing preferences at startup

[madmas]

At startup, I get a NullPointerException:

from what I got reading the code, it seems like some preferences are missing; how can I set them?

[ThomasDaheim]

Need to look into that. Might be an issue with access rights?

In the meantime, could you please try and use

--ownCloudDir="C:\owncloudpath\Notes"

to set your local ownNotes path?

[ThomasDaheim]

Have done an update in the logic on how to handle parameters from command line vs. preferences. Should hopefully really be a fix :-)

Now keep fingers crossed that i didn't mess up things in git...

Thanks a lot, now I could run the application, looks good 👍
I openend PR #4 and #5 for small improvements :-)
