About Easyread
论文和设置存在哪：Windows 安装版在安装目录下的 data 文件夹（装在 D 盘就在 D 盘，更新和卸载都会保留）；macOS、Linux 在用户目录下的 EasyRead 文件夹（和 pip 安装版同一个位置）。卸载重装不会丢。 以后升级：Windows、macOS 安装版和直接打开的 Linux AppImage 都可以在程序里更新，有新版本时顶栏会提示（也可以在右上角问号里手动检查），点“更新”，可以放到后台下载，下好后点“更新并重启”。解压运行的 AppImage 和从源码运行的照旧从 Releases 下载新版。macOS 和 Linux 从 1.3.2 及以前升级时，要先手动下载 1.3.3 一次；macOS 要把 EasyRead 放在“应用程序”里才能在程序里更新。
