Ah, that time of year again. Finally found time and inspiration to work on this...

- Adding icons to the list view makes the search process really really really slow when I tried that. The alternative: showing the icon of the selected item below the 'Start search'-button.

Well, did both. If you want nice, but slow: icons are possible as an option.

Release: ISMONISM v0.5.0 (2020-11-30)
[Add] Possibility of icons per row in the ListView if an item has one. (thank you Darthagnon)
[Add] Option for icons in the ListView.
[Add] Show larger icon for focused ListView-item.

         See screenshot with icons on GitHub.

[Add] Checkmark in settings GUI for AppData/ProgramData application data folders as search folders.
[Add] Creation of SQLite database with search items (all files and shortcut-targets with matching extensions are stored while searching).
[Add] Option to keep 1 database.
[Change] Move settings file to 'Data' subfolder.
[Add] Option to start with saved database results.
[Add] Do not overwrite existing shortcuts when creating new ones. (If shortcut XYZ.lnk already exists, the new one will be named XYZ (1).lnk and so on.)
[Add] 'Do next' options at dialog after creating shotcuts.
[Add] Menu entry to open 'personal folder' in Windows Explorer.
[Bug fix] Minor bug fixes.

Planned: save up to 10 databases. Let's hope for a shorter release cycle for that :-\.

Release: ISMONISM v0.4.0 (2020-01-04)
  - [Change] Not start search automatically.
  - [Add] Button to start search.
  - [Add] Option to start search automatically.
  - [Add] Option to start maximized.
  - [Add] Keyboard shortcuts (see menu).
  - [Change] Re-order GUIs and menu for the above.
  - [Bug fix] Partial file extension matches. (Thank you Ath)
  - [Bug fix] Edit folders in settings GUI.
  - [Bug fix] Not always checking own folder for settings. (Thank you mouser)

Bugreport:

• Besides .exe files, also .e and .ex extensions are found, and, after adding com to the list of extensions, also .c (and probably .co) files are listed. I'd expect these extensions to match exactly, and .e or .ex files are not executable files, AFAICS.

Ah, should have known that. Partial extension matching fixed.

• On the settings pages, one button has the caption 'Edit focused' and another 'Remove selected'. IMHO, 'focused' should be replaced by 'selected', as focused is a seldom used term in this context.

-Ath (January 03, 2020, 05:18 AM)

Hmm, not 'fixed'. You can select more than one row in the ListView and then remove them in one go. With edit you can only do that for one row at a time (the last clicked row, which has the focus...). IMHO there need to be a distinction. Suggestions are welcome for other wording.

BTW, there are bugs with edit (for folders: add instead of edit; it works on an empty ListView). Fixed.

Bugreport:
If launched from it's portable directory manually, it finds the settings file properly.
But if I (or in this case ISMONISM) creates a shortcut in the start menu, then when launched from the start menu I think it must be looking elsewhere for its settings file, and it starts with default settings.

Fixed,

Next I'm going to work on the 'not automatically start searching when launched'-thing, then I'll release a version which includes above fixes.
