<p>It seems that the new version does not handle symbolic links in the path of the Bisq application directory the same way anymore.</p>
<p>I could reproduce the behavior in first moving away the application directory and then creating a symbolic link at its place:</p>
<pre><code>$ mkdir ~/tmp
$ mv ~/.local/share/Bisq/ ~/tmp
$ ln -s ~/tmp/Bisq/ ~/.local/share/Bisq
$ ./gradlew :desktop:run
