BaSystem® Martin Raabe - Qube5 Editor V2 further development

Hello Qubers!

Status of my further development of the Qube5-Editor V2 from Qube Solutions UG:

These work packages are still open:

Known error: The colors of bowls and background are set to black unintendedly
The "Cancel" button of the Settings Dialog should read "Abbrechen" in German language
Improvement of dialog "Time Settings" - still not specified
Multiple selection for Move by drag&drop
Add support for arrow-keys for rotation

These work packages are identified but deferred:

Drag & drop for file append (is this really possible?)
Undo function - very complex to implement
Create preview images with the orientation of the main window - by extra button or after releasing the mouse button after the move

Here are the versions of my further development of the Qube5-Editor V2 from April 8^th, 2023 Qube Solutions UG:
