beta9_update_2

Main changes:

The following items have been added to conversation tree popup menu:

1. Browse to directory with current file
2. Browse to directory with Audio files
3. Set Audio directory using path to current file (automatically set path to audio files in program options, if it exists)

No more need to open the settings and specify the audio path every time — simply open a .con or .xml file and use the appropriate menu command. This works with already prepared source packages that include folders like Classes, Conversations, Audio, and so on.

¹ The original ConEdit seems to use its own clipboard implementation, so the contents of the Windows Clipboard remain untouched when copying conversations or events.
ConEditPlus uses own data format and works with Windows Clipboard.
For now, only events are supported. Copying and pasting the whole conversation will be added to one of the next releases.

---

² Logging slows down most of operations, especially when loading large files like AiBarks.con. Disable for maximum performance.

---

³ The EventLabel for the new event will be removed, to avoid duplication. Can be useful if you don't want to use copy/paste.
