Cracked hashes during hashcat --restore not written to potfile

[username]

Code:

./hashcat

is different from

Code:

hashcat

if installed, the $HOME/.hashcat/ directory is used:
https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat/commi...945a9aaR32

I've created a symlink to the binary in the folder so that I just need to write hashcat instead of ./hashcat. 

Although, as I just edited in my command above, first time I installed hashcat it was through pacman, but I uninstalled it and just downloaded it from the website instead to get the latest version. Could this be what is causing the issue?

Normally hashcat is just writing to the hashcat.potfile from within the folder where the binary is. I've only experienced this when a hash is cracked in a restored session.
