Feature Suggestion: Unversioned executable name

[hced]

Suggestion: Clean executable name without version For easier OS management, I prefer executable names that are generic.

Example where versioned names become cumbersome:

In Windows there is a Start menu folder where you can manually put links to programs. Since BeefRef is a portable app (aside: where does it save its preferences?) I have to put a link to BeeRef in this folder in order to be able to run it via Windows Start Menu. Issue: For every new version, I'll have to redo the link.n (Manually renaming the executable doesn't feel right, imo.)

You can just rename the executable to whatever you want.
