Fix avatar file call to directory before user loaded

This works only because by convention people don't name folders with a period in the name. In fact you can name a folder with a period in the name and a better approach would be to use something like this logic in ipcMethods to create an isDirectory method:

const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');

function checkPathType(filePath) {
  try {
    // Use lstat to inspect the path itself (does not follow symlinks)
    const stats = fs.lstatSync(filePath);

    if (stats.isSymbolicLink()) {
      // It is a symlink; resolve it to check the target
      const targetPath = fs.realpathSync(filePath);
      const targetStats = fs.statSync(targetPath); // stat follows the link
      return { isSymlink: true, isDirectory: targetStats.isDirectory() };
    } else {
      // It is a direct path (file or directory)
      return { isSymlink: false, isDirectory: stats.isDirectory() };
    }
  } catch (error) {
    return { error: error.message };
  }
}

// Usage
console.log(checkPathType('./my-path'));   

(I am assuming we can handle symbolic links to avatar files? but if we don't the logic is even simpler.)
