Both:
● Added: Ability to save GPS coordinates in XMP for PSD, HEIC, and HIF files.
● Fixed: Catalog Upgrade required instead of optional.  The 5997 build had a Catalog Upgrade that should have been required but was optional.  This allowed some users to perform other maintenance tasks that would then fail.
● Fixed: Auto-Ingest and Show Ingest Disks on mount of camera card fails to work with cards from various cameras.
● Fixed: Quicktime GPS coordinates in MOV files were being incorrectly interpreted as DDD.D format regardless of actual ISO 6709 layout (e.g. DDDMMSS.S).
● Fixed: Zero-byte XMP files are no longer created when out of disk space.
● Fixed: Handling of Slack-modified HEIC files (Slack removes Exif and XMP).

macOS:
● No macOS-specific changes were made.

Windows:
● No Windows-specific changes were made.
