Information in marktext/docs/APPLICATION_DATA_DIRECTORY.md is incorrect

[dgl-dev]

Description

Info provided
"Application Data Directory
The per-user application data directory is located in the following directory:

%APPDATA%\marktext on Windows
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/marktext or ~/.config/marktext on Linux
~/Library/Application Support/marktext on macOS"

• Can you reproduce the issue? Yes, the documentation doesn't change

Steps to reproduce

N/A

I expected the information to be correct

Actual behavior:

The information states that the themes/export directory is in the ~/.config/marktext on Linux
That is not so, here's the actual contents

limawhiskeydelta@penguin:~/.config/marktext$ ls
 blob_storage   dataCenter.json  'Local Storage'              preferences.json               SingletonCookie
 Cache          dictionaries      logs                        recently-used-documents.json   SingletonLock
'Code Cache'    Dictionaries     'Network Persistent State'   screenshot                     SS
 Crashpad       GPUCache          Preferences                'Session Storage'               window-state.json

Versions

• MarkText version: marktext-x86_64.AppImage

Actually, this is the right directory which contains both Electron cache/settings and MarkText settings as described in our documentation. E.g. ~/.config/marktext/themes/export/ is the default location for CSS files for PDF output or ~/.config/marktext/preferences.json contains settings. Depending on your build version this may be marktext with a suffix.

First, the docs say "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/marktextor~/.config/marktext` on Linux", not ~/.config/marktextthemes/export/
Second, there is no such in .config as the ls output I included shows

limawhiskeydelta@penguin:~/.config/marktext$ ls
 blob_storage   dataCenter.json  'Local Storage'              preferences.json               SingletonCookie
 Cache          dictionaries      logs                        recently-used-documents.json   SingletonLock
'Code Cache'    Dictionaries     'Network Persistent State'   screenshot                     SS
 Crashpad       GPUCache          Preferences                'Session Storage'

Third, I've used find to search the entire system for marktext, marktext/export, marktextthemes, themes with no success - the search sudo find / -type d -name "themes" finds the themes for ghostscript, JetBrains, inkscape, GIMP, ... but not marktext

SO,...???

First, the docs say "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/marktextor~/.config/marktext` on Linux", not ~/.config/marktextthemes/

I fixed my typo from above.

Second, there is no such in .config as the ls output I included shows

In your example from above, you're located in the settings folder (~/.config/marktext). You need to create the themes' folder inside the MarkText's settings folder. E.g. run the following command when located in ~/.config/marktext:

$ mkdir -p themes/export
$ touch my-theme.css
