After a bit of fiddling, the autoimport feature is done:

Please test and report back. I left the console window enabled, so it will show some reports on what it's doing and error messages may show up there too.
From the readme:
You can also specify a tmx/txt/xls file (or a folder) that is automatically imported into a database when the program starts. You can access this special db by pressing F9. In the setup file, enter the file path, then a tab, then the two languages separated by a comma. E.g. c:\autoimport\current_tm.tmx en,de
If a folder is specified, the program imports all the compatible files in the folder and ignores the rest. Make sure txt/xls files have the same order of columns or languages may get mixed up. The same applies if the languages in a tmx file don't match those specified in the setup file.

1. OK, regarding the auto import feature, what I need is more of a way to update my database when individual TMXs in my various folders on my computer change. Meaning: I would like to be able to click a button, and have TMLookup check whether any of the TMXs in a specific folder have changed, and if so, update the relevant index portions.
2. Is there any way to close that extra info window, without closing the program itself? I already have way too many open windows on my computer, and would really like to be able to close it.
