I did move it to a new topic.

Zooming in is more precise, and the mouse pointer arrow stay in the center of the zooming point then when with a trackpad. Meaning the object stays under the mouse pointer but zooms in and out.
With the buttons on the left side, I can step forward or backward in the folio tab's.

Some keystroke works with a radial menu, but other settings let QEletroTech quit without any notice; no saving or dialog, just gone. Not sure if it is a crash; nothing to see in the system log. SO I didn't bother to much about the Navigator.

The CTRL key isn't working on the Mac as it shouldn't; We use the Command key, that works fine on the iMac but not so good on the MBP>

Dear all,

Using MacOS - If I using the English language the preferences is settled under the qelectrotech menu;
but when using the Dutch language its under the configuratie menu.

How come and why?

The save FloppyDisk Icon stays black after saving a project
When I draw an element in the 'element editor' and save it the black FloppyDisk Icon becomes grey, but this isn't the case when saving a project. BTW - In macOS the topleft window red dot should have a small black dot to show the documents is dirty ( as in altered and not saved ).

Deleting Items or Objects
Some elements can be deleted using Command X, others can only be deleted using left click and choose Delete.

When some drags an element it show long wires and I am okay with that but it connects always to another item when on the same level.
This happens also when I just move around an element, it draws a conductor again even that wasn't there before. A little annoying specially with the first point mentioned above.

Request - Is it possible to change the icon to a cross when after dragging ( drawing ) a conductor to another terminal ( blue dot ) then I can see the blue dot better. When the blue dot is pointing upward ( vertically ) the cursor covers often the dot ( zooming in is sometimes difficult to see the start and end point of a terminal at the same moment. I hope you understands what I ment. Or maybe the dots and the snap should be wider/bigger.

Hope that you understands what I meant to write.

Thank you for reading

Dear All/Developers

I am pleased that I found QET for the MacOS and I like it. So far so good.

Between my regular job, I am drawing/converting several old hand drawn and printouts of electrical schemes using QET. The originals are not available anymore, but the schematics are needed for quality control documentation and insurance.

Doing this, I notice some, ’short comings?’, that can make designing more streamlined; at least for me. Maybe a discussion worthy?

Rotation of a selection
When I select a group of items and want to rotate the whole selection now it rotates each element or item individual; what I like to request is that when I want to rotate the selection that it rotates the whole selection as one item.

Creating groups
I like the user collection, and would love to create a group of element and shapes ( together ) and save them in the user selection for reuse. Now I have a separate project with some ‘groups’ that I can copy and paste, but having them under user collection would be great

Project Tab’s shortening question/request
Maybe already in there but not discovered yet, but could it be there a preferences item thats toggle the ‘Project Tab’ file name to a short version; like just only the Project Name instead of a Project Name + the complete filepath. Then when hoovering over the Project tab it shows the complete path and with CTRL click on the Tab it shows like the ‘Finder’ the path as an submenu.

Moving elements and shapes using the keyboard arrows
Not sure if it is a bug, but when having a element selected using the keyboard arrows it moves the folio but not the element; not expected.

Conductors
Creating my own conductors with color and text and have them stored globally.
I would love to have the possibility that I can choose in the “edit conductor’ dialog my own wire/conductor and apply to the selected conductor.

Moving the wire icon anywhere along the conductor line
When having the conductor line some times the wire icon is ar the wrong place obscuring other elements or shapes. Is this possible to move that wire icon anywhere along the line? See image
