• 'Save as' now asks the user if existing waves should be overwritten.
• Added checkbox to toggle to a log-scale plot.

• Added TicksFromWaveLabels() function to generate user ticks from dimension labels.
• Fixed bug: If a sub-range was used for alignment then the image data was cut to this sub-range.
• Added keyboard shortcut: Hold 'alt / option' to save output in folder of the source wave.
• Added feature to display profiles in Z (layer) direction.
• Fixed bug: Column units of multi-profiles were not set.
• Fixed bug: The 'Quit' panel had the wrong size with active graph expansion (i.e., different from one).
