When ZTree is installed under C:Program Files, the zbar.dat file is written here %AppData%ZTreeWinzbar.dat Which isn't found, ZPreview shows the "No vaild 'zbar.dat' found, not even at specified ZBarPath" message in the GUI.

I can see nowhere to to set ZBarPath in the config, so I tried set ZBarPath=%AppData%ZTreeWinzbar.dat c:...ZPreview.exe which got it to work.

Feature requests

  1. State in the README.md and the GUI that the ZBarPath environment variable might be needed.
  2. At least optionally support automatically using %AppData%ZTreeWinzbar.dat

Thanks Ben
