Fixes
- Main window disappears behind other windows after setting input/output dir.
- XLS files in root directory were not processed, only the files from subfolders.
- Encoding of the converted *.csv files has been changed to ANSI WINDOWS Codepage 1252 (West European Latin) so that it works identical to excel (save as *.csv feature).
- Moved settings file to appdata folder of the user currently logged on eliminating UAC limitations.
- Sheetnames containing single quote characters are now converted (this used to give an exception).
- Fixed an issue where the log file could not be written to disk when the destination directory no longer existed (dialog box requesting to write log to system disk).
- Typo “Threat all as text” should be “Treat all as text”.
