Simple tool to copy save file with global key hook (F5, F9)

Permissions and credits
What it does:
Simple tool to copy save file with global key hook, so you can press these two keys while still in Dark Souls 3 screen
- F5 (quick save): copy current file to quick save file. Ideally after the game saved to it's files (the fire icon in the top right corner screen of the game shown and vanished)
- F9 (quick load): restore quick save file (if exist) to Dark Souls 3 Save file "DS30000.sl2". Mostly when you at main menu or when the game hasn't started.

More info: Dark Souls 3 automatically saves you game all the time to single file (when you press ESC, pick up object, travel, quit ....), this program back up and restore this file with 2 hot keys (It works with the file only, so not really quick save and quick load in game). Simple scenario: before try something, save (F5), I you failed, quit the game to main menu, reload the save file (F9) and choose "Continue" in game menu.

How to use:
1. First edit CopySaveForm.exe.config with you text editor:
- SavePath(Must edit): Dark Souls 3 Save directory(contain file DS30000.sl2) usually: C:\Users\windowAccountName\AppData\Roaming\DarkSoulsIII\0110000100000666
- NumberOfSaveKeep: each time you save (F5) the tool will create a back up with time stamped name, when the number of save files exceed this number, the tool will delete oldest file.
2. Start the program when you want to use it
3. If you mispressed the key and overridden your save files, don't worry, open the save directory and choose one of the back up to manually restore the save file.

Note:
- If you start the game with Administrator privilege (Run as Administrator), please do the same with this tool
- This tool backup and restore save file, only use it if you know what it is and know what you are doing
-
Require Microsoft .Net 4.5
- Most important: please don't use it, just git gud.

Tips:
- Press ESC, the game will start to save
- The game will save when you choose to quit from menu, so if you want to load save file (F9), quit to main menu first and then load.

- I saw "Dark Souls 3 Save Game Backup Tool by svaalbard" (http://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls3/mods/16/?), but it doesn't work the way I want (being a cheating noob), so I write this
