Fixed
5 Entries- Don't clean up VFS if it doesn't exist.
- Automagically remove old media folder mappings.

Version 4.2.0
Added
9 Entries- The settings page have been visually overhauled. The whole page has been rewritten to support a tab based view.

- Add an advanced option to physically attach the VFS to libraries.
