Bug fixes

* The output folder was not reset to "album" when a new album project was created through the menu.
* Folders in the thumbnail explorer view couldn't be double clicked and expanded unless they were already expanded in the tree view.
* The progress bar when building album would sometimes got stuck (due to miscalculations) and it would seem like the build wasn't finished. The progress bar now also clearly indicates when work is done and flashes on the start menu.
* Preferences wasn't loaded if JAlbum was started with a project.
* Smart Upload in the publish section always warned about uploading to the root even if "Show warnings" was deselected.
* Fixes to the JAlbum XML parser (% or \ in attribute values wasn't supported which caused problems when sharing and publishing albums)
* Four Tools were again broken
* New compiler/packager for Windows fixing out of memory issue with multiple CPUs
* Mac - Labels were often abbreviated (even if it wasn't necessary) with ellipsis...
* Mac - Drag and drop from iPhoto to JAlbum (only supported file formats).
* Mac - Drag and drop to JAlbum's dock icon didn't work. Now you can drop projects, images or folders with images on the dock icon.
* Mac - Double clicking project files didn't work if JAlbum wasn't already running.
* Various minor fixes.
