Bug Description

Setting the directory for videos resets to "videos" whenever I just open the preferences menu.

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 using Kazam 1.4.5 (from the stable builds). I also remember this happening on older version back when I was using 14.04

Video card is Nvidia GTX770 (if that's relevant in any way)

Not a proper fix, but it's possible to work around this by setting the file name to a relative file path, eg "../screencapture/kazam_capture" will create a file in the folder "../screencapture/screencapture" with the prefix "kazam_capture". This crashes if the folder does not exist, however.
