A console app will work. No GUI is needed.

** 2019-10-31 implement it
- dir row
- render image
- save image
- problems
  - Console.WriteLine() doesn't write anything, when run "dotnet run" in
    powershell.

    WTF? why such simple thing fail?

    Will Console.writeline work in Windows Application?

** 2019-10-31 create a windows app to allow easier identify and copy spotlight
image to user's pictures dir.

auto show recent 6 spotlight images.
click image to "save as" png file.

- the dir is
  %AppData%\..\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ContentDeliveryManager_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Assets
- use find command to locate most recent 6 images.
  could be less if run on new computer.
- use some widget to show png/jpg image.
- when click "save as", just copy the original file.
  do not save the in-memory image data or re-encode the image.
