I understood your requirements. User picks the folder to store app files into.
The app then needs to store that folder somewhere.
I would ask the user for the their preferred location and store that folder in
a OS standard location.
I do exactly that with Scm-Workbench. The user picks the folder to check out
repos into
and I store that choice in the standard location.
