Persist last-used dialog folders in user preferences

Browse source 
Dialogs now remember last-used folders for source, destination, logo, and settings files by storing these paths in a user preferences file under LocalApplicationData. Preferences are saved on form close, reducing unnecessary writes. SettingsService now uses a temporary ParametriSetup for settings files to avoid polluting user preferences. Error handling ensures preference save failures do not disrupt the user. This separation improves user experience and keeps user preferences distinct from project settings.
