Added button on the Set View Location dialog, to allow the user to select view location from current Point List data.
User preferences are now stored in the user's AppData\Roaming\MapList-Flat folder rather than windows registry.
Minor changes in layout and text box size to improve the appearance of some windows, depending upon the user's currently selected Windows theme.
