Hello,

A little update to fix a few issues reported in the last months and to fill a few requests.

[FIX] Several fixes based on issues reported since the last release
[NEW] 'Program profiles' let you specify groups of programs to launch when the simulator starts (if the simulator is started via AL). If you have no need for that, you can hide the 'profile selector list' visible in the toolbar in the options screen ('UI options' tab). The profiles can be created in the options below the field where you can specify the 'programs to launch'
[NEW] New option to specify that an addon should automatically be deactivated when another one is activated (sort of 'reverse dependency'). Available in the right click menu (Dependencies -> 'Set addons to disable when this addon is enabled')
[NEW] New option to disable all addons included in a preset (available in the 'presets buttons' at the bottom and in the 'preset management screen')
[NEW] New option to create an empty preset (available in toolbar / right click menu / presets buttons at the bottom)
[NEW] Added the 'cumulative presets apply button' and 'disable addons in preset' in the 'preset management screen'
[NEW] New column 'disable' in the preset creation screen (checking it will deactivate the addon when the preset is applied)
[NEW] New column 'In preset' in the main view showing in which preset(s) an addon is included
[NEW] Clicking on the little 'boxes' below the community folder grid will auto filter the items matching the selected box (invalid links, external links, ...). Cick one more time to remove the filter.
[NEW] Added a 'folder properties' right click menu option in the main view (will call the standard Windows folder property dialog if you want to quickly see the size/number of files of the folder)
[IMPROVED] When using the 'search box' feature, folders containing the found items will automatically be expanded
[IMPROVED] In the launch programs parameters it's not possible to force 'kill the process' when the sim closes (might be useful if the standard way of closing apps doesn't work for some programs)
[IMPROVED] The 'locate existing addon' option now also supports RAR and 7Zip files
[IMPROVED] Launching the program when it's already launched will bring the already opened screen back to front (previously it would just show a message box indicating that the program was already running, note that the message box is still shown if you have enabled the rarely used 'send to tray' option)
[MINI] Option to hide to preset selection list in the main toolbar at the top, the preset selection list is now automatically hidden if you have enable the option 'Show preset selection screen when launching the sim'
[MINI] Added a 'delete this addon' button on the 'Set custom data' screen
[MINI] If you hide the grid below the map, it will remain hidden the next time you open the screen until you decide to unhide it
[MINI] Updated to the latest SDK
[MISC] Probably a few more minor things i forgot about...

Thank you as always for your support.

I think that was 3 days ago (version 0.20.8562.18), unless there's a more recent version as of today.
