Saving a crop preset

[vAfotoriporter]

I have a hard time saving a crop preset that is
-constrained crop
-aspect ratio 1:1

I save it but it sets to an unconstrained crop. When I go to settings to save it again then it works after save until I change to anything else. But when I cancel my crop change to a 3:2 constrained I mostly use then cancel it and select the 1:1 constrained preset that I saved under the snapshot in Settings I again get the unconstrained crop what or I have a different preference - it seems to be a bug.

I use Photo Mechanic Version 5.0, build 13217 (68ec133) on OSX 10.6.8 with a MacBook Air 11" first gen.

Are you saving it over the same snapshot name or are you giving it a new name?

Actually I ran into the same problem and found that ANY crop preset using the number 1 (i.e. 1:1, 1:2, 2:1 and so on) does not work and is not saved correctly.

My work around was to use another number like 2:2 or 3:3 or whatever (I actually used 10:10, 10:20 and so on). The actual number does not really matter as it only defines the aspect ratio, not the actual crop size or orientation
(Kirk, please correct me if I'm wrong).

Correct.

I'll see what I can do to fix these issues and add additional precision for that other user (apl?) that requested it while I'm at it.

The next build will allow 1:1 Constrained crops, as well as 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, etc.

Thanks a lot!
