Describe the bug

I need to use a custom path for Legendary. I have set it on the Settings and the config file is showing it as expected:

{
  "defaultSettings": {
    "altLegendaryBin": "'/home/bjorn/Projektujo/Aliaj/nixpkgs/result/bin/legendary'",

But when I try to execute a game, it uses another Legendary path. See logs below.

Crash report is empty. The launch command is executing a legendary path that seems to be the default, that I want to avoid because it won't work on NixOS, that's why I'm using another path for Legendary.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'Settings'
2. Change value for 'Choose an alternative Legendary Binary to use'
3. Go to Library
4. Run any game
5. Check Launch Command (not using alt path)

Expected behavior
Application will use alternative path to run game.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: NixOS
• Heroic Version 1.10.3
• Genshin Impact (although it applies to any game)
• Wine/Proton version: 6.0.2|6.3
• Hardware specs (RAM, CPU, GPU): I think they wouldn't matter for this case :)

Additional context

Although this is not on an OS that is officially supported, I think that as long as the application can use the alternative path for Legendary, it would be enough to solve the issue.
