1.5.2 Contact Sheet: Margin ignored for Header, output folder mandatory

- Header and Footer are always placed on border of image not within margins
- Top margin for thumbnails gets ignored completely when using a Header but not the bottom margin for footer.
- Output folder is mandatory. It doesn't work like in batch processing where you can enter a name for a sub folder to be created. Also impossible to automatically create the contact sheets in the same folder as the pictures

Additional Suggestion:
- orientation left/center/right for footer would be great

checking with 1.9.2 now:
quality looks fine even without antialiasing option. Thanks Pierre!

BUT:
- margin affects footer/header and thumbs but there is virtually no space between text and thumbs for vertical thumbs.

- ® symbol shows as superscript
- Progress bar shows now text and now progress (as in processing pictures or anything. Just the animated pattern in the bar is showing.

Further:
- suggestion: preview sheet during settings to see live results of changes
- suggestion positioning option for footer (left, centre, right)
- suggestion: different font sizes for header, footer. Normally a title is larger than footers/copyright infos

So use vertical spacing between text and thumbnails?
