Repository navigation
Reorder GUI to seperate "per profile settings/tasks" and "global settings/tasks" #580
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the GUI mixes elements of per profile settings (i.e. the tabs "Repository", "Sources", ...) and global settings / tasks (i.e. "Misc" tab and the "Start backup" / progress bar area).
Describe the solution you'd like
Rearranging the GUI so that there are two horizontally seperated areas. The upper one could include to profile switch and the 4 tabs ("Repository", "Sources", ...). The lower one could also have two tabs, with the first beeing "Current task" (maybe indicating which profile is running, #578), and the second beeing the current "Misc" tab (i.e. namend "Global options")?
Describe alternatives you've considered
Renaming "Misc" to "Global options" could also help.

Changing "Misc" to "Global Settings" would be a more accurate name for it.
The backup bar is already separated by the line of the tab box.
Separating the UI boxes would take too much screen space. We could visually separate the tab buttons without splitting the box https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37201443/move-two-qt-tabs-to-the-right-leave-rest-to-the-left/37203075
