-importing *.EsenthelProject files will now always create a new project, unless there is an already opened project
-SkelBone now has new members which are autodetected based on the bone name (BONE_TYPE type, SByte bone_index, Byte bone_sub) this allows to quickly identify bone types, such as BONE_HEAD, BONE_NECK, BONE_ARM, etc.
