I guess this would be true for the current irregular slicer also? In all those
cases, rotation (#211864) would help :-).

At some point, sure :-). More than anything I wanted this idea *written down*
somewhere while it was fresh in my head. I've no problem being the one that has
to implement it. (I also won't object if someone else wants to take a crack,
but I totally understand that you're busy.) I probably wouldn't do it any time
especially soon.

Only briefly, and not yet with a many-piece puzzle. It's better, though :-).
(I'd really like to be able to dock the containers, though; right now they
don't work very well with a maximized main window. I think if you just stick
them in QDockWidgets...?) Other than that I think I just need to use it a while
to have a better opinion.

I was annoyed at first until I found where to turn back on the old 3D mode (the
highlight effect I don't particularly like - would be nice if it at least used
the system scheme color by default - but I get that it's to support less
powerful devices, so okay). Preview rocks :-D, thanks a ton for that.
