If SYNCTHING_CONFIG_FILE is not set and default config not found, look
for config.xml in localstate directory:
SYNCTHING_DEFAULT_STATEDIR="$HOME/.local/state/syncthing"
At least in my environment (manjaro linux) this is where a working
config.xml is located by default.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Hello, thanks for your contribution!
I did a little edit to make sure that SYNCTHING_DEFAULT_CONFIG_FILE is never empty, as that might happen with your diff.
I mean, for sure if no config file exist this would break, but I'm willing not to change how it breaks 
Anyways, if you could try if it still works as expected with my edit, that would be fantastic 🙂
Thanks again!

Still works for me as expected, thanks! And it's cleaner without an extra variable |
