- ...press and hold shortkeys to rotate the view around a fixed axis with the mouse (snapping to angles, with Shift, Ctrl and Alt).
The following critical issues were fixed:

- Added missing buttons on the UI for area expansion / missing buttons on "Find+Replace" dialog.
The program was tested intensively with "real world" files.
However, something can go wrong in about 140.000 lines of code.
