For some reason Glances ignores the config file I put in ~/.config/glances/glances.conf

When I load the config explicity with 'glances --config ~/.config/glances/glances.conf', the config is correctly applied.

If I put the config at /etc/glances/glances.conf, it is also applied.

But when I put it at ~/.config/glances/glances.conf, it isn't.

What could be the issue here?

I'm running glances 4.4.1 on Ubuntu 24.04.
