Initial setup fails on Windows with 'The system cannot find the path specified'

Problem Statement

On a fresh install organize edit fails with 'The system cannot find the path specified'. The editor it attempted to open was notepad and it simply gave an untitled document that prompted for a save location.

Attempt to resolve

Running organize reveal opens explorer with a generic window, not showing any actual folder. I was hoping this would at least reveal the path that was needed so I could manually create the folder without doing a dive into the code.

System details

• organize, version 2.0.9
• Python 3.10.2
• Shell is Powershell 7.2.1
• Windows 10 (I think fully patched as of today)

Thank you for reporting. Do you have a env variable ORGANIZE_CONFIG set?
What is the output of organize reveal --path?

No

What is the output of organize reveal --path?
C:\Users\didge\AppData\Local\organize\organize\config.yaml

I updated to the most recent version with the same errors, and organize --version reporting v2.1.2. However, now that I know about the organize reveal --path subcommand, I created the .\organize\organize directories and I got prompted to create the file.

update: I did review the diffs between .12 and .10. I see what you did with the CONFIG_PATH in cli.py, and I don't understand exactly what didn't happen on my machine. (It took a second to realize why you were working with CONFIG_PATH.parent, but once I saw that, everything was quite clear.

i guess I'd suggest putting a note that the default config directory is in %localappdata%\organize\organize on windows. I'm going to test it out over the next few weeks and see how it works and if I keep using it, I'll try digging in on this further. Thanks!
