There’s a minor typo in Romaing … and it seems to be missing the username at the beginning of the path.

Since things such as that are SO easy to overlook, I generally suggest leaving the databasepath at its default.

But, if you DO change the path, upgrading Gramps should read the old path from the `gramps.ini` and transcribe it to the new one.

The general rationale for a Preferences item is for people using Gramps on multiple terminals in a home network. So the path can be easily changed from a local drive to a network storage location.
