🧪 new features

option to store markdown backups out-of-volume fc88341
- the default is still a subfolder named .hist next to the markdown file
- --md-hist v puts them in the volume's hist-folder instead
- --md-hist n disables markdown-backups entirely
#149 option to store the volume sqlite databases at a custom locations outside the hist-folder e1b9ac6
- new option --dbpath works like --hist but it only moves the database file, not the thumbnails
- they can be combined, in which case --hist is applied to thumbnails, --dbpath to the db
- useful when you're squeezing every last drop of performance out of your filesystem (see the issue)
actively prevent sharing certain databases (sessions/shares) between multiple copyparty instances acfaacb
- an errormessage was added to explain some different alternatives for doing this safely
  - for example by setting XDG_CONFIG_HOME which now works on all platforms b17ccc3

#151 mkdir did not work in locations outside the volume root (via symlinks) 2b50fc2
improve the ui feedback when trying to play an audio file which failed to transcode f9954bc
- also helps with server-filesystem issues, including image-thumbs

#152 custom fonts are also applied to textboxes and buttons (thx @thaddeuskkr) d450f61
be more careful with the shares-db 8e0364e
be less careful with the sessions-db 8e0364e

download link	is it good?	description
copyparty-sfx.py	✅ the best 👍	runs anywhere! only needs python
a docker image	it's ok	good if you prefer docker 🐋
copyparty.exe	⚠️ acceptable	for win8 or later; built-in thumbnailer
u2c.exe	⚠️ acceptable	CLI uploader as a win7+ exe (video)
copyparty.pyz	⚠️ acceptable	similar to the regular sfx, mostly worse
copyparty32.exe	⛔️ dangerous	for win7 -- never expose to the internet!
cpp-winpe64.exe	⛔️ dangerous	runs on 64bit WinPE, otherwise useless
bootable usb	┐(ﾟ∀ﾟ)┌	a surprisingly useful joke (x86_64)
