Now I find Mirror/Rotations a bit misleading:
- Mirroring of type 1 lines is done centered on subfile origin
- Mirroring of other line types and rotation of all element types is done
centered on main file origin.

Since there is question about how LDDP should mirror, what is the expected
behavior?  If my method is unexpected then how should the process be changed?

Without adding options, it would be best to have all transformations operations
centered on main file origin.

An extension would be to allow transformations centered on on user defined point
(cf. MLCad).

And to go further, transformations centered on subfile origin (this is more
controversial, since a type 2..5, or multiple selection doesn't have a center
properly defined). Maybe allow this only on type 1.

- Other bug fixes the nature of which escape me at the moment
A minor one: the behaviour of the "modified" status (* in tab name) is erratic,

Can you give me more specifics?  I added this since the last beta so it might
not work as intended.

and it is still possible to lose a modified file when closing LDDP (save warning
issued only sometimes)

More on this one as well.  I thought I killed this bug but apparently it either
works on my machine and not yours or you're doing something that I'm not.

Maybe indeed it is machine (or OS? I use Windows2k) dependant. Anyway here is
what I see:
- Open a file, make a modification. A * appear on tab name. If you try to close
LDDP, a warning is issued.
- Move the cursor (with mouse click or with keyboard arrow). The * disappear,
and if you close LDDP it shuts down without warning (and without saving, you
loose your modification).

A wish: it would be nice if there was somewhere a visual grid size reminder (in
status bar?)
