Hello ! a hotfix was pushed this atfternoon for Windows and MacOS, related to the save and export location management. (Linux versions to come on monday)

Here are the changes :

• when you open an existing project and use "Save Project As..." to save it under another name, the file dialog will bring you to the same folder as the original project file

• when you import a video and save it as a project, the file dialog will bring you to the same folder as the video file

• when you export a project for the first time, the file dialog will bring you to the same folder as the project

I wonder if tvpaint android works on samsung s8 ultra. I have installed it on my s7+, it stoped working when i upgraded Android,
so i set it back. I don't know if that's solved or not. Keyboard works just limited, it's not possible to copy frames, and if you remove it, the software crashed.
