Upgrade Notes

• When opening existing projects in 1.6, Tropy will begin consolidating photos which still use the old, cropped thumbnails. Tropy will update only photos which are loaded (e.g., which are visible in the project view, plus some photos which are just off-screen); if you want, instead, to refresh all photos in one go, you can select all items and scroll through the photo panel or force consolidation via the context menu, but we recommend to let Tropy consolidate photos by itself. Consolidation of a photo typically takes under one second, but may take longer depending on the photo's location, size, format and your hardware: for projects with thousands or tens of thousands of photos this may take a considerable time. It is save to close your project during consolidation (Tropy will continue consolidation as needed when you open it again).
• On Linux you may need to install additional packages for libfftw3, liborc-0.4, or librsvg2-bin.
