Proofing Tool GUI 3.0 - Build 76 - It now saves .idx (Thesaurus) files

Hello!

Today I have released build 76.

I have added .idx support, which means that while saving a Thesaurus 
(.dat) it also creates an .idx .

I know I have been trying to do it for several months or even a year, 
but the php script people told me about was very hard to understand.

I also lacked free time because of my two jobs and PhD.

Today I received an e-mail of a person asking me about .idx support and 
I replied that in August (the university is closed so I will only have 
one job then) I would probably have free time.

But, I decided to give it a try today and in around 10-15 minutes it was 
done although I only tested it with the pt_PT Thesaurus... Alexandro 
Colorado has said several times that I was a lazy ass and he was right :-(

Please give it a try:

Thanks!

PS->To the guys complaining that every month an update tip appears on 
the top right of AOO,
         that happens because I update the English dictionaries monthly 
(so, every month a new release
         comes out and everyone gets a notification in AOO).

Kind regards from your friend,

It is extremely difficult in advance, to know how much time a
programming issue will take to solve.  You obviously based the projected
time on the worst case scenario, whilst Alexandro bases it on the best
case scenario.
