[3.13] Enhance PuTTY settings import
This is just a request for a couple of minor enhancements to the PuTTY import process. - If you have sessions that have spaces in the title, it changes the spaces to the %20 XML space character. Can this be put back as a space ? - Can you retrieve the PuTTY "Auto-login username" setting and populate the TeSSH "Auto Login"->"Name" setting. I also use the PuTTY keys utility to pre load my SSH keys. But I do not know if you could find the location of my key file and if you did, would you want to pre fill the "SSH Key file" setting for all your imported sessions.

The first two ideas should be easy. Getting the SSH keys is a lot more difficult, so I doubt I will do that soon. Maybe in a later version I'll explorer more about how PuTTY stores this information and see if the format is compatible with the keys used in TeSSH.

First two requests were added to the 3.14 version, so let me know if the issue is fixed.

Import of the username works fine. But I am still seeing the %20 when importing session names. Looking at the PuTTY registry keys, I see that it is %20 in there. Also the import grid also shows the %20 text.

Hmm, that's odd. It's calling my URLDecode routine which is supposed to convert any %xx hex code into it's proper ascii character. I'll put this back on the bug list and take another look.
