Description

 * Xreader version (2.8.1)
 * Distribution - (Linux SUSE 5.10.3-1-default)

I was using Debian 10 and now I've moved to OpenSUSE.
I only formatted the root directory / and mounted my old /home

Now my progress for all books is lost.

Expected behaviour
I thought xreader would save user data somewhere in the home directory, but could only find .cache/xreader and it's obviously useless.

Other information
Now I'm lucky to have backed up my old / Debian system. Is there a way that I can bring progress back from that backup?

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Trace where Xreader stores PDF reading progress, then determine whether the data from the backed-up Debian home or root filesystem can be identified and restored; done means documenting the storage location and recovery path.
