Bug Description
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open preferences
2) Set on "Automatic file saving"
3) Select a folder which is different from the default home folder
4) Close the dialog.
5) Close the application
6) Open the application again and go to screencast preferences
Problem: The Directory is reverted back to the home folder
Expectation: The settings should have saved
Note: The settings take effect in the same application instance. It seems as if the settings are not being saved to file.
This happens on the unstable branch

For now, this is intended behavior. There are two kinds of people in this world, the ones that like their directory settings retained over different sessions and the ones that don't. ;)
Myself, I am sometimes in one group, sometimes in the other.
Kazam defaults to ~/Videos and ~/Pictures folders for automatic saving. If those folders are not available then ~/Documents is used and the last fallback is ~/. Pathnames are taken from XDG, so if you are using localized version of Ubuntu, Kazam will use localized named for those directories.
