[Feature Request] - Please allow some sort of configuration file to set custom download paths

[theamazingfedex]

As the application is today, when installed via the pre-built package provided via itch.io, it downloads and saves model files into the userdata folder on the C:/ drive, and in my case fills up the drive. I was looking through the installed application's files and did not see a config file or any other way to define an alternative model file location. This feature would be exceptionally useful, and would allow at least myself to use this awesome tool.

This should be possible by changing the huggingface cache location. I will set this up, but for now you might be able to do this manually by editing your environment variables.

try setting HF_DATASETS_CACHE to your desired path in your windows environment variables.

That didn't seem to work when setting the HF_DATASETS_CACHE for both SYSTEM env vars, and USER env vars. I also tried launching the .exe via the command line, in gitbash using both:
HF_DATASETS_CACHE=J:\AI\.cache ./chatai.exe
and
HF_DATASETS_CACHE=J:\AI\.cache ./chatai.exe
and then I tried again in cmd using:
SET HF_DATASETS_CACHE=J:\AI\.cache
followed by chatai.exe to launch the program, and every time it just loads the cache from the C:\ drive (the default hf.cache location)
