PicView 3.1.5.1 hot fix

This is a quick patch to fix sizing issues from going fullscreen and restoring window #226 #227

PicView 3.1.5

🛠️ Improvements

• Migration from ReactiveUI to R3:
  PicView now uses R3 instead of ReactiveUI for its application infrastructure. This results in:
  • Reduced File Size:
    The application's size reduced by approximately 34%.
  • Performance Enhancements:
    Rendering speed, especially when resizing the window, has been significantly improved.

🖼️ Image Info Window

• The Google and Bing map link buttons are now enabled only when longitude and latitude values are available from the image.
• The "Optimize image" button is now disabled in the Image Info window when the format is unsupported.
• Added the option to remove image metadata. This can be accessed in the context menu by right-clicking. (#211).

🖱️ Context Menu

• Simplified the set wallpaper function in the main context menu. The Fill, Fit, Center, and Tile options have been moved to the Image Info window's context menu.
• Added a new context menu to the rotation button in the window's title bar. Clicking it now provides options to: Rotate to 0°, 90°, 180°, or 270°, as well as flip the image.
• Fixed an issue where content in the context menu was not clickable in blank areas (#215).

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fixed the image flipping function not working (#218).
• Fixed a crash when removing the image's EXIF rating in the Image Info window (#219).
• Fixed navigational errors when saving files outside the currently viewed directory.
• Fixed the Previous button (in the bottom toolbar) not being triggered continuously when the pointer is held down.

🚀 What's New

  You can now change how the mouse side buttons work. Choose to navigate file history or switch between directories. Find this setting under the Mouse tab in the settings window (#199).

🛠️ Improvements

• Directory Navigation:
  • Improved navigation between directories. If Search subdirectories is enabled, PicView moves to the next directory in the list; if off (or if there are no directories in the list), it navigates as before.
  • PicView now remembers your startup directory (including subdirectories) and restores it on the next launch.
• Performance:
  • Preloader has been fine-tuned for better performance and lower memory usage.

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fixed incorrect saved settings path when saving in portable mode (#213).
