button. |
Fixed: Crop/rotate tool locking up, or unavailable for images dropped into a second instance, or preventing access to the
last images in the thumbnail row. |
Selecting an aspect ratio in the crop dialog will also set the "Lock Proportion" option; subsequent cropping will thus
respect the chosen aspect ratio. |

alternative keyword name. |
Fixed: If video trimming is reset so that it extends over the entire original length, a full-length copy is no longer created. |
When renaming keyword groups with target descriptors, prompt the user before also updating affected images. |
