Hello, David.

For the translation, I wondered how it compared with the existing functionality of pressing `Shift` while moving the mouse (hovering) across one of the Slices. I usually do this with the crosshair turned on.  
A separate discussion seems to have been created on that topic.

The rotation is a cool feature. The question I had was about reverting to axes lining up with the original (DICOM/RAS) coordinates. After some rotation has been performed, how should the user return to the ‘default’ alignment?
