User experience improvements:
-AngelLoader will now attempt to restore the previous loader when it exits. For example, if your Thief 2 loader is FMSel, and then you start AngelLoader and play an FM, and then you quit AngelLoader, your loader will be reset back to FMSel again. That way, if you start Thief2.exe manually, your regular loader will pop up. Previously, what would have happened in that case is that Thief 2 would just start up with no FM or loader and not tell you anything about why. This caused confusion for people who were using multiple loaders - suddenly after running AngelLoader their old loader wouldn't pop up anymore. This is fixed now. However, as a fallback, in case for whatever reason AngelLoader is still set as the loader when you start your game manually, you will now get a dialog box explaining the situation and telling you how to choose another loader.
-AngelLoader now matches FMSel's FM language search and fallback functionality. This should help in cases where people were getting blank readables for non-English Thief installs etc.
-If you try to start AngelLoader while it's already running, it will now focus and bring itself to the front, rather than just doing nothing and making you bring it up yourself.

Bugfixes:
-Fixed: When opening the Settings window, the "Ignore articles" section didn't change its enabled-state to match its values.
-Fixed: "Remove tag" button could throw an exception if no tag was selected.
-Fixed: If the rating filter was selected and its label was shown and it had the text "None" in it, that text wouldn't be updated when the language changed.
-Fixed: The Tags tab used to be able to be shrunk down to nothing with no scroll bars, causing its layout to get messed up. Scroll bars now appear at an appropriate time like all the other tabs.

Other:
-FMData.ini now stores custom resource booleans in a more compact format, making the file about 25% smaller on average. Reading and writing of the file is now also faster in general. AngelLoader is able to read FMData.ini files of both the old and the new format, and will convert an old-format file to new-format automatically. No action is needed and all data will remain the same.
-Various small performance improvements.
