Favorites list empties unexpectedly.

• OS: ubuntu22.04
• Version flatpak

I recently collected many words in my Favorites, but they've disappeared today and can't be recovered. I'm unsure why this happened. Has anyone else experienced this issue, or is there a bug in the app?

Not sure what happened, but the storage location of favorite is the same as the config files. Note that native and flatpak version uses different paths for config.

Yeah. I know that the favorite file of flatpak is located in ~/.var/app/io.github.xiaoyifang.goldendict_ng/config/goldendict/. I checked this directory's favorite file. It was empty, which is quite strange.

The related code probably need a double-check. Data loss is not supposed to happen.
