Project Properties
This section contains four tabs for the purpose of making all project-specific settings. This section is only available after a project has been selected.
Multiple selection of projects in the project overview is possible. These can then be deleted or exported in one step (the export is done per project with the respective project name; there is no merging of projects into an individual project file).
