h_d Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 When I crop an image, the initial Crop Overlay defaults to the Golden Spiral. This is in a 'pristine' installation of APhoto 1.8, no prefs changed. I don't personally mind, but it could well throw users who might expect the more usual "None" or "Grids Third".

h_d Posted January 11, 2020 Author Posted January 11, 2020 Not sure if I ever installed a prior beta.

Mac may be setup similarly, and you may not be looking at the right file.

RNKLN Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 I couldn't replicate this on my Mac. In my case there's no overlay, e.g. None. Most likely this also was the setting i used in earlier betas.

It's quite possible that I ran a previous Beta at some point in the past and that I used the Golden Spiral cropping overlay. I'm afraid I can't remember, though - I was just a bit surprised to see it pop up as what appeared to be the default in 1.8. Case closed though, I reckon.
