Hello Herbert,

The Z-order measure scrolling is on the to-do list, but won't be included in the upcoming 2.0 release, scheduled for June.

The 2.0 release will include some major improvements in the palette and main toolbar design. Tools will be more readily accessible via buttons. As you suggested, the user will be able to show or hide the tools.

There will be a beta release of 2.0 in this forum in the next week or two. If I remember correctly, you had some concern about file version control. The beta release of 2.0 introduces a new Save As .NOT 1.0 File Format option, so that you can go back an forth between the 2.0 beta release and 1.0. The loss of data going back to 1.0 will be irrelevant for purpose of trying out the new user interface.

Cheers
