A few more minor changes, check our commits for details.

Just Works Update

This update creates the database without user intervention and without a program restart. As long as FFMPEG and Youtube-DL are in the same directory, it will work on the first launch without any tweaks. Includes brand new quality-of-life features like a single executable, autofill on path selectors, and a .db extension for the flat file database.

1.0 - The Database Update

This update includes grammatical fixes, Quality of Life UI improvements, and new ASCII headers. The most important feature added is our dynamic database. This allows your settings to load back into Youtube-DL Frontend, instead of hardcoding or typing them every time. Thank you for using Youtube-DL Frontend!
