What's new in this version:

Both:
Added:
- Slideshow and Live Slideshow now have an option to keep the mouse cursor visible during the slideshow
- The Set GPS Coordinates dialog is now resizable
- New append (+) checkbox to Persons Shown in the Metadata Template dialog
- Updated PhotoDeck upload template to support two-factor authentication
- Contextual menu normalization between platforms. The order of menu items is now consistent between macOS and Windows. Also added separators on either side of Delete/Move to Trash menu items to make them less likely to be chosen by mistake

Fixed:
- Adjusting the Absolute date via the Date picker in the Adjust Capture Dates and Times dialog no longer adjusts the time as well when the date of the photo is outside of the editable bounds of dates supported by the OS
- Structured Keywords now draws Categories and Synonyms in different colors from Keywords. Synonyms are also drawn in boldface style
- Copy menu item on contextual menus for Contact Sheet and Preview renamed to Copy/Move to better indicate the available options when choosing that menu item
- Load Selection now preloads metadata (to get filenames) prior to attempting to select them
- Location Taken fields not participating in metadata recent items
- Sync Color Class with IPTC Urgency preference description updated to reflect more closely how the preference works

Windows:
- Added: Long paths are now supported. If a folder located on a path that is longer than 260 characters is opened as a contact sheet, it will open and work normally, but it won’t participate in the “Open Recent” documents submenu on the File menu.

Fixed:
- Using Ctrl-C to copy selected text in the Info text pane of the Preview window now works correctly
- The default location for the cache folder is now the user’s local app data directory
- "Photo Mechanic Shell Extension CreateProcess failed" error when opening a folder in Photo Mechanic from Windows Explorer
- Missing Favorites cannot be removed permanently
- Favorites can now copy and move folders
- Metadata popup menus: recent metadata items get mixed in with submenus when the overall list of items is long. Now, recent metadata items get their own “Recent Items” submenu
- Emailing on Windows does not produce separate email for each photo when desired
- Separate emails now evaluate variables for each email
- Unable to bring the Preview window forward after opening the Structured Keywords panel when the Structured Keywords panel is opened via keyboard shortcut
