Both:
 ● Added: Add extension naming options to use case of original file's extension or force upper/lower case when no existing file.
 ● Added: Tip of the Day system. You can turn it off by setting a checkbox in the window that shows the tips. You can open the Tip of the Day from the Help menu if you want to see it again.
 ● Fixed: PhotoShelter uploader does not allow access to "Organizations" dropdown.
 ● Fixed: Save Photos As progress hangs when the watermark is set to 'draw text' with an empty text field.
 ● Fixed: Demo activation issues for people who had tried a demo of Photo Mechanic 6.
 ● Fixed: Google Maps does not place a pin at the center of the map if the cursor is moving when released.

macOS:
 ● Added: Made the tab bar overflow menu appear whenever there are two or more tabs.  Also decreased the delay for tooltips over controls (like the Contact Sheet tabs.)
 ● Fixed: Renaming images (inline) in arrangement sort loses arrangement.
 ● Fixed: Crop box is misaligned in Zoomed view on Preview window when zoom results in a preview that is smaller than the display area.

Windows:
 ● Fixed: A GDI handle leak that was responsible for the crashes that many users have been experiencing since Photo Mechanic 6 was released. We have confirmation that this bug has finally been fixed and stability is much improved.
 ● Fixed: Sorting after inline renaming is now consistent.
 ● Fixed: Paste Snapshot keyboard shortcut opens 'View' menu.
