One exe, your language, zero traces

Highlights

  • 🌍 One exe for all languages. The UI language (English / Lithuanian) is
    now switched inside the app — no more separate -en build. First run
    follows your Windows language; after changing, the app offers to restart
    itself. Your choice is remembered.
  • 🔌 Portable mode. A new checkbox keeps all working files (scan cache,
    activity log) next to the exe — perfect for a USB stick. The app leaves no
    traces on the computer and even removes its previously created
    %LOCALAPPDATA% folder. The mode travels with your stick
    (a portable.txt marker, the Notepad++ convention). By default, working
    files now live in %LOCALAPPDATA%\SmartDuplicateFinder (previously
    %TEMP%, where temp cleaners kept eating the scan cache).
  • 📊 Localized Excel report. Sheet names, headers and group labels now
    follow the UI language — the report reads like a document, not a printout
    of internals. The file name stays technical (English).
  • 🛣️ Long paths readable again. Full-path cells now elide in the middle
    (C:\Users\…\photo.jpg) instead of collapsing to C:....

Fixes

  • Fixed a PyInstaller restart trap that could show "Failed to start embedded
    python interpreter"
    after switching the language twice.
