3.2.0 Bugfixes and minor UI additions

Note: The file mdview-3.2.0-x64.exe was marked as malicious on VirusTotal by "Bkav Pro" as "W32.AIDetectMalware".

New menu entry "Window"

Currently, it isn't of much use under Windows, but it doesn't hurt either. It was done for porting the application to macOS.

New CLI options

The application has two new command line switches for testing and diagnosis purposes:

• --app-path: Outputs the path to the installation directory and exits immediately
• --data-path: Outputs the path to the data directory (where besides other thinks, the settings are stored) and exist immediately

The Windows command line behaves weirdly when invoking the application. To workaround this, a batch file mdview-cli.cmd was added to the installation directory.

The recognition of file ending is case insensitive now, i.e. .MD is now the same as .md
