As you above mentioned there is already a tool that does what you want - LDDPad.
But with the capabilities of LDDPad you have to know the command line parameters
and how to set them.
LETGUI is designed as a GUI for command line tools, not as a starter
application. LDDPad is in my eyes the application for that taskes. For that
reason I have designed the connection to LDDPad in LETGUI.
