Siren v3.14 Final

This new version corrects an issue with the "ansi" text file format (%T).

Bug : automatic text file format recognition used for %T (thanks to Jaroslav)
Bug : crash when right clicking in the file list on the column header after the last one (thanks to Frdric)
Bug : audio/video variable storage for some qtf files

Help
New sizes of Siren png icon

New modifier : Group renaming
By default a variable content always belongs to the file currently treated. This modifier allows to change this behaviour and use the information from another file of the "group" it belongs to. A group is a number of consecutively selected files.

The usage is : < p, i >
p : group size
i : file indice in the group

Examples :
%<2,1>b.%e : the base names will be set to the one of the first file of the group
%<2,2>b.%e : the base names will be set to the one of the second file of the group
%b - %<3,2>Xdo.%e : append to the base names the exif date of the second file of the group (of three files)
Contextual help
