Is there any reason for not using ~ for home folder?
Readability reasons, mostly. It sort of mirrors how Nautilus represents sub-folders of the user's home folder. (It is a less ambiguous.) I hadn't intended to use other 'bash-style' variable name replacements though. It's used to store picture directory relative path in the case of the user's home folder being moved or changing for some other reason. The format could be changed if you think it's bad form though.
I think ~ is better for future reviews. Because if somehow that value get used in spawn command in the future, we (reviewers) may miss that. And we are against user changeable variables for spawn commands. But let me know if you want to use `$HOME`. We can approve, since it is just a placeholder not an actual variable (at least for now).
I can fix this and resubmit.
