Seems something broken with Fujifilm X-Trans raw files processing.
When i switch interpolation methods in Layer settings - nothing changes at all. "None" method don't works as well. I see small blink of original unprocessed pattern for a moment, but moment later image remains look unchanged.
No problem with normal bayer raw files.

X-Trans must be decoded using X-Trans demosaicing which is turned on automatically. Theoretically, bilinear is possible, too, but does one really want that?

"None" is a debugging option and not part of the official release.

So maybe somehow indicate those special X-Trans demosaic options? It is just feels confusing to see bayer options selection in raw layer settings when working with X-Trans raw files.
Other apps do it like this:

I will change that.

When exporting to PDF you should avoid overlapping, though, because some PDF viewers (e.g. Apple Preview) have serious troubles with rendering.

Love the new mesh gradient option - one of my long wished for additions.

I fervently hope (and wish) for an expanded option to allow for freeform gradient points as well - the mesh can be a bit inconvenient at times. Perhaps an option to set isolated points with a scale option?

PS What is that new Export panel? Is that meant for SVG or html/css output? Looks intriguing...

PS2 When did that Vuescan option appear in the Import file menu? That's brilliant! I use Vuescan, and this simplifies life considerably! Thank you!

It's intended to be used for SVG import and export.

Vuescan installs a Twain driver, even a 64-Bit driver - the only one I know. So you can use it with the "File > Import > Scan" function.

That's a great option to have. In my work I deal with SVG extensively, and to have more control over the output would be excellent!

PS3 Have you considered Animated PNG support for the animations aside from animated GIFs?

When I select Menu -> Import -> GS Import and import a PDF/X-4 document, click a text frame and deselect the text frame, PL doesn't react anymore.
I have GhostScript 9.54 (full) for macOS installed (the latest version from April 2021). Very strange: When I »Force Quit«, there is no hint that PL isn't reacting anymore. After »Force Quit«, when I restart PL, the GS Import dialog appears immediately. Seems there is a bug in closing the GS import function after having imported a PDF.

When I select Menu -> Import -> Select Scanner, the list is empty despite having installed a registered VueScan (64bit) version 9.7.51 for macOS.

Can you send us the PDF?

There is a macOS option in the System Preferences ("General > Close windows when quitting an app") that reopens document when restarting an application. With PDF PhotoLine will possibly show a dialog.

I don't know whether TWAIN is still supported on macOS (by Apple), but VueScan.app does contain a TWAIN driver: "VueScan.app > Contents > Plugins > VueScan.ds". I installed that to "/Library/Image Capture/TWAIN Data Sources", but it didn't work neither in PhotoLine nor in Apple's Image Capture.

There is also a Photoshop plugin "VueScan.plugin". Copying that to a different location and pointing PhotoLine to the copy did work. The menu entry "File > Import > VueScan" appeared. Selecting it started VueScan. I could scan several pictures which appeared in PhotoLine after quitting VueScan. As long as VueScan was running, PhotoLine was locked-up.

I meant this one:
I never noticed it before. Scanning via the Scan option is greyed out though, and I cannot use it.

Weird - I do not recall installing it. But probably I pointed PhotoLine at the Photoshop plugin folder, and Vuescan probably installed it there.

Herbert123, that menu line is a part of VueScan plug-in. I use some other plug-ins and PhotoLine also adds their additional fields to "Import" menu.

Maybe extend tiling options and add two additional menu items?
Things may look like this:

Window -> Tile Vertical (arranges all windows to vertical single row)
Window -> Tile Horizontal (arranges all windows to horizontal single row)
Window -> Grid Vertical (arranges all windows to vertical multi row grid)
Window -> Grid Horizontal (arranges all windows to horizontal multi row grid)

Or instead of new menu items you may simply add "Alt" modifier to current Tile Horizontal / Tile Vertical menu items to manually control if arrange all windows to single row or to grid.
