Description
Settings are now stored globally and are remembered after you exit or restart the program.

User can now choose only between playback and export settings (User usually works with only 1 recording at the same time).

The settings can be reset by clicking the RESET button in Settings dialog.

ISL Recording Player - Improved speed by indexing whole ISL Light file when it is opened [ISLRECPLAYER-8] More

Description
ISL Groop recordings already contain indexes. This is done when the recording is being recorded. However ISL Light recordings haven't yet got same indexes recorded, so these ISL Light recordings must be indexed in ISL Recording Player before playing it.

In the past, indexing was done relatively to the current time position by creating so called checkpoints (restorepoints) in player. In this version indexing is done entirely sequentially from the beginning till the end. After indexing process reaches 100%, these recording can be played smoothly from any time slider position.

Description
Chat is now being expandable and not fixed size anymore as it was in the past.

In "full screen mode", the controls animation is now different (it is resizing the recording area instead of covering it).

Description
Exporting of ISL Light recording now also creates a text file named isr_chat_cache.txt, which contains the chat stream cache.
