Latest version Johns Background Switcher: 4.0

This version uses a completely new image processing engine, adds a new blurred single picture background mode that has been much requested, improves performance and memory usage and has a few other tweaks and fixes. Full details follow:

• Added a new "Scale to fit and blur the background" picture mode - which will now be the default
• Choosing a SmugMug album now lets you browse your folders
• Sorting SmugMug albums in alphabetical order when the folders cant be shown
• macOS 10.15 and above only are now supported
• Tweaked the background patterns on snapshot scrapbooks to look better on retina displays
• Now storing Google Photos access tokens in Keychain
• Using a completely new image processing library along with being now built on .NET 7 (which you shouldnt notice but will result in lower memory and CPU usage in general)
• Fixed a bunch of deprecated API issues to ensure smooth performance on your Mac
• Various performance improvements and bug fixes too minor to detail
• Wow, thats a short list considering a ridiculous amount of work went into this version under the hood! In terms of code changes this is the biggest update since version 1.0!

As always, if you encounter any problems or have any suggestions, please let me know!
