Fix on Windows where files under some circumstances could not be replaced (e.g. in XMP insert action where original file is replaced with new updated file)

FileTrain 6.0.8

Fix when actions try to overwite existing files. The final file could be corrupted in some cases.

FileTrain 6.0.7

Support for database action 2.4 which has a new support to call database functions
Minor GUI fix where the error found in some sources when the hotfolder is not found was not properly translated

FileTrain 6.0.6

When handling very large amount of files FileTrain could stall, this has now been addressed. Important not to use cache if a large number of files are to be handled in a station.
If a source had an advanced scheduling the next time for scan could show a time that was not correct
More advanced handling in stations if a large number of objects are handled. If the queue gets large the sources are temporarily paused
New stations are set not to use cache by default
Flickering of the start/stop buttons for stations is addressed
Buttons to show information and history are disabled when no station is selected
Windows version did not show correct download/upload images
Sources are not set to scan at activation by default
