Do we need a GUI code freeze now for a smooth migration to Qt6 (and until when?)?
I have still some open issues that would require small changes in the Qt5 GUI parts, eg. - add an "experimental" (better: fuzzy) snapshot log filter to find rsync errors that are currently not recognized as errors - add some missing tooltips - add hints for the rsync "--itemize" 11-characters output to make them better understandable to end users but I can postpone this of course until we have finished our migration to Qt6.
