 - all CNCJob objects generated by the Solderpaste plugin now have the GCode saved as source_code which can be saved also from the CNCJob object context menu, and edited
 - updated some custom widgets in the GUI elements such that the scrolling in the Preferences can be done without blocking on some of the widgets
 - remade how the Preferences Tab is constructed such that now is made on demand for each section (tab) therefore making it faster to load (once a section is loaded - by clicking its tab - it will not be reloaded in the current session)
