Unrecognized option "--config" with EncFS 1.9.2 #146

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and latest Linux Mint 19.3 are shipping EncFS version 1.9.2 in their repositories.
When I am trying to use EncFS config stored in arbitrary path (Options -> Options -> "Unlock A encfs Volume With Specified Configuration File.") I get the following error message:
`Failed To Complete The Task And Below Log was Generated By The Backend.


/usr/bin/encfs: unrecognized option '--config'
The directory "/home/username/Documents/dropbox.encfs6.xml/" does not exist. Should it be created? (y,N) Directory not created.
Unable to locate root directory, aborting.Build: encfs version 1.9.2
`
This happens because there was no "--config" flag before version 1.9.5 .
The environment variable ENCFS6_CONFIG is supported in all EncFS versions.
