What's new in v7.2.2

Improvements and fixes
- Fixed an often reported photo export issue where Batch actions or exporting from Library could produce incorrectly edited images, overexposed or underexposed results, or exports with no edits applied at all.
- Fixed a UI glitch that could appear frequently when opening the Frames tool, or when double-tapping a slider knob to reset that specific adjustment.
- Improved the import experience end to end. Fixed bugs that could cause imports to stall or even crash when importing large photo batches.
- Fixed an issue on macOS where importing photos via Drag and Drop into Library did not work correctly.
