Fixes

• Improved performance of loading images (no longer using exiftool for metadata)
• Added missing Show Assets menu item
• Fixed problems parsing DNG images as TIFF (DNG appearing as small thumbnails)
• Added 'Advanced' (thumbnail) History panel view (via burger menu)
• Fixed crash at startup when only .NET 4.6.2 is installed (due to Microsoft bug - we now require .NET 4.7.2 which prevents installation on Windows 10 1507 and 1511)
• Reverted change to Layers panel font size
• Fixed crash printing constraint group node with multiple lines/fills
• Fixed PDF import bug preventing layers from being imported
• Fixed CMYK printer profiles not appearing in print dialog
• Improved consistency in hot key assignment (CTRL + Numpad + 1 will do the same as CTRL + 1 now, assuming Numlock is on)
• Fixed Stroke width being printed incorrectly on rotated objects
• Fixed Open / Save dialog file extensions list being too long
