It is up for debate whether we should put the application name or the description (like I have done in 3cf2f6229950d3fc439b07ec6c6b4f4ffcb54d39) into that field . See also: https://github.com/mxre/winres/pull/43

I think the application name should be used for FileDescription, since that property is what's used as the program name in Task Manager.

Yeah, it's weird when a sentence describing what the program does is inserted in places where you'd expect a name (as in the screenshot above). I should probably fix this and also redo the pictures in the README.md.
