Wondering why changing the order of photos in a folder, corresponding to a Gallery Pro page, causes all pages to be marked changed?

Hi @TomM,

Thanks. We had a look. Elements doesn’t currently track which pages use which resources, so reordering a folder marks every page changed. We’re looking into making that smarter so only the pages that use that folder get marked as changed.

Cheers

I might add that changing only one caption marks all pages changed.
