Hey! GitHub repo got a +1 star by "dcmouser" :)

Things seem to be flowing the right way!

Current feature-set for README.md file is:

- Single window, tabbed interface.
- Supports multiple games (sequential fetch).
- Drop folder to directory text box.
- Remember window location and size.
- Remember last directory value.
- Remember horizontal and vertical separator width.
- Downloaded image saves as: FULL_GAME_NAME_FILENAME.
- Real-time counter for added and fetched games.
- High-res game image auto-zoom (resizable).
- PictureBox supports drag&drop of downloaded image file path (actual location on disk, not image).
- Always on top.
