Both:
• Added: New Creator’s Identity field which allows a photographer to list their identifying characteristics.
• Added: Cancel button has been added to the Editor chooser dialog.
• Added: Support for multiple PhotoShelter uploads without creating multiple sessions.
• Fixed: Now reads camera-written copyright and artist from Fuji camera photos.
• Fixed: Apply rotation to JPEGs no longer soft-rotates images after update.
• Fixed: Attempting to start a trial on a system that has already had a trial in the past could produce an infinite loop where the trial would never be started and the user would have to force-quit Photo Mechanic.
• Fixed: Filename sort is no longer slower than usual if using color class or star rating filters.
• Fixed: Disable JPEG quality slider when limiting file size. Having the quality slider enabled confused a number of users so it has been disabled when limiting file size and has no effect.
• Fixed: Thumbnail labels with large amounts of whitespace no longer draw beyond the thumbnail cell width.
• Fixed: Ingest no longer copies XMP files if present when ingesting non-RAW photos only.
• Fixed: Copy to 'Location shown table' no longer copies a full set of empty fields, producing an empty row that would not be noticed by most users.
• Fixed: Ingest Tasks dialog now disables the Stop button when no active ingest task is selected.
• Fixed: Send Photos via Email no longer uses the Save As dialog’s DPI setting. It now uses the DPI settings found in the Files page of the Preferences dialog.
• Fixed: {quality} for Compressed Sony ARW files now shows “Compressed RAW” instead of “Uncompressed RAW”.
macOS:
• Fixed: New Folder Inside this Folder could select the wrong folder for editing.
• Fixed: Edit now available for movie files from within the Preview window.
• Fixed: Find and Replace retains settings when opened after re-launch.
• Fixed: Move to Trash in Navigator should now work on network drives when the folder is not empty.
• Added: When a video completes playback, the pause button becomes a play button. Pressing the play button in this state causes the movie to begin playback at the start of the video.
Windows:
• Fixed: A GDI handle leak that was responsible for the crashes that many users have been experiencing since Photo Mechanic 6 was released.
• Fixed: Spellcheck now indicates when existing words are misspelled.
• Fixed: Using the Clear Crop keyboard shortcut no longer resets the constrained crop settings.
• Fixed: Loupe view now works for all images on Contact Sheet, regardless of position.
• Fixed: Dragging photos to arrange them now works correctly.
• Fixed: Contact sheet now automatically updates when upload status changes or files are renamed.
