Expected Behavior
On startup, crash reporter to not create a folder at %APPDATA%/<app.name> and instead what's provided via app.setPath('crashDumps', function.
Actual Behavior
As the documentation suggests:
This method should be called as early as possible in app startup, preferably before app.on('ready'). If the crash reporter is not initialized at the time a renderer process is created, then that renderer process will not be monitored by the crash reporter.
I do the following:
app.name = APPLICATION_NAME;
app.setPath('crashDumps', <path>)
crashReporter.start({uploadToServer: false})
app.on('ready', () => this.onReady());
And at the start up of the application, this creates a folder at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\APPLICATION_NAME instead of the path I've set. The crash dump still ends up on the path I've set but I think also on the unexpected folder.

Additional Information
If I run the following before starting the crashReporter, then that path is used instead.
app.setPath('userData', <another path>);
Which is the right thing to do, but I find it still odd for it to use userData instead of crashDumps.
