Sorry for the double-post, but I've got an update!

I've managed to get the file size down to 446MB. I may be able to lower it even more, but we'll see.

The good news is that I've also managed to greatly increase the speed at which the program launches. It was already performing at full speed during normal use, but there used to be a rather long (up to ten seconds sometimes) launch time when first opening JCS.

Here's the beta change log for your reading enjoyment. These changes were all made yesterday and today.

1.) Reduced file size from 589MB to 446MB.
2.) Decreased startup time from ~10 seconds to roughly ~4 seconds.
3.) Improved JCS' ability to close cleanly. If the user uses the [command]+Q keyboard shortcut, the app no longer closes instantly; if changes have been made, it prompts the user to save (which is the expected behavior).
4.) Added a "force quit" option in the app's Mac OS menu options. This does not prompt the user to save; it quits the app instantly by killing all wine processes.
5.) Added the ability to save to an external folder (outside the JCS.app). This is experimental.
