What's new in this version:

New functionality:
- Added ability to filter a directory view window, which generates a new window with a "filtered view". The filter determines which files are shown in the new window.
- If a filter has been applied this is reflected in the window title.
- Added a drawer to directory view windows. It has three panels:
- An "Info" panel with details about the files that are shown in the view, including:  the time of scan, the folder that was scanned, and details of the filter that has been applied (if any).
- A "Display" panel for configuring the way the view is drawn. Here you can specify: how files are colored, and the mask that is used (if any).
- A "Focus" panel with details about:
- the folder that is currently shown in the view, and
- the file that is currently selected.

Tiny changes:
- The button for revealing a file in Finder has been renamed to  "Reveal" (it used to be "Show").
- The file coloring options "directory" and "top directory" have  been renamed to "folder" and "top folder" respectively.
- Cosmetic changes to the "Edit Filter" window.

Code cleanup:
- The progress panel has been refactored. It is now also used when filtering takes place.
- All tasks and executors have been moved to a new "task" folder.
- Simplified the code that creates the attributed string for the  selected file.
- The contents of PopUpButtons are now set in their nib file  instead of programmatically.

Bug fix:
- Plugged a memory leak in the image drawing code.
