PM Crops updated from ACR for DNG files (disable?)

[Ethan Welty]

Problem:
In the new version 4.6.2, suddenly all my DNG files that have (level) crops set in ACR now have PM crops set. The problem is that the JPEG previews are updated to reflect the crop in ACR, so the crop shown in PM is excessive. This is really misleading - is there a way to disable this new "feature"?

No, but please post some screen shots of the issues you're seeing.  JPEG screen shots, please.

Attached screenshot illustrates the issue.
Image open in PM preview on the left, image in ACR on the right. PM crop (as of 4.6.2) appears automatically, but since embedded JPG of DNG updates according to ACR crop, the PM crop makes no sense.

I think it is very nice to see the crop for an ACR-edited RAW file, a really great new 4.6.2 feature!

However, showing the crop info on an image with updated embedded JPG does not make sense and is in fact counter productive. As I don't use DNG (and ACR only for non-NEF RAW files), I do not suffer from this, but I can see this is troublesome if you do.

Just my 2 cents,

This is still an issue in Photo Mechanic 5.0 (build 15011).
I am still hoping for this issue to be resolved, or at least for ACR crop display in Photo Mechanic to be something that can be turned off.
