FileSystemWatcher is referenced to detect changes of file system to add or remove items in time.
Watched directory should not include the current program as subitem or any change of monitored content will not raise events.
Path to configuration file config.json should be passed to the program when it starts as the first argument. Or the path "(working directory)\config.json" will be used.
Options in the configuration file are used to determine what items should be displayed in the main interface.
Configurable options are introduced below.
Sample of options can be referenced at default.json
ConfigurationReader.cs shows the way that the options be read.
