Get full text: ignores library specific file directory #7152

@buhtz
JabRef 5.2--2020-12-02--f22968e
Windows 10 10.0 amd64 
Java 14.0.2

My relevant settings:

Library Properties -> General file directory -> "./Files"
Options -> Preferences -> Linked files -> Main file directory -> [empty]

When I press the "Get full text" symbol for an entry in "General" tab beside the "File" field a PDF is downloaded and stored.
But it is stored not in ./Files (the library specific general file directory) but in the mail file directory. The latter field is empty and I also assume that JabRef use the directory of the current open bib-file as the working directory here.

As a user I would assume that JabRef use the Library specific file directory - ./Files in my case.
