Both:
• Added: Uploaders - increase the maximum number of concurrent uploads to eight. This significantly increases the performance of uploading images, depending on the service and server. This setting is adjusted in the Connection Settings accessed from the Upload dialog.
• Added: Support for Sony a7Rm5 and ZV-1F models’ makernote data.
• Added: Ability to force a full rescan of a Contact Sheet, even if the directories have not changed. Hold down the Modifier Key (Option on macOS, Shift on Windows) while choosing the Rescan menu item from the View menu.
• Fixed: Amazon S3 uploader - allow client to specify login region.
• Fixed: No error message appears when Uploaders fail to create a copy of transmitted photos.
• Fixed: When importing preferences, do not import upload connections that already exist.
• Fixed: "Apply" checkbox does not clear for Alt Text or Extended Description fields in Metadata Template dialog.
• Fixed: Append checkbox for Extended Description field changes state to 'checked' when the Clear button is selected.
