- ad3cb296d  2026-04-05 Jonathan Thomas          Fixing some Codacy nitpicks in our unit tests mostly. HEAD, origin/release-20260402
- 70c461390  2026-04-05 Jonathan Thomas          Translating "User Interface Scale" in UI and documentation
- c8fd103b2  2026-04-05 Jonathan Thomas          Adding User Interface Scale to preferences, to allow users to easily change the scale of OpenShot. When Enabling the Legacy Timeline it disables this option, and sets it back to 100% scale (our legacy web timeline backends have ugly artifacts when using some fractional scales)
- 2d1d99f45  2026-04-05 Jonathan Thomas          Fixing SHIFT+Scroll Wheel regression, where our new qwidget timeline backend did not scroll horizontally when SHIFT was pressed. Added unit tests as well.
- 0fdd954aa  2026-04-05 Jonathan Thomas          Align razor icon with mouse position hotspot in QCursor (qwidget timeline backend). It was offset incorrectly, so the dotted line was not aligned with the actual cursor position, thus cutting in the wrong place.
- ff1362dc9  2026-04-03 Jonathan Thomas          Invalidate all qwidget timeline clip thumbnail caching when "Edit Title" is used, so thumbnails of titles stay in sync after edits (dragging thumbnail, initial timeline thumbnail, and dropped thumbnail)
- 38188a054  2026-04-03 Jonathan Thomas          Updating file menu image used in docs, due to missing "Optimize" option in the menu. Updating README.md to add missing English PDF for website.
- 61620a082  2026-04-03 Jonathan Thomas          Updating supporters.json file with credits from donations.
- 7211faa61  2026-04-03 Jonathan Thomas          Fixing a regression which added Preview->Optimize to the main windows top menu - oops.
- bda95f5cf  2026-04-02 Jonathan Thomas          Fixing many Codacy nitpicks and complaints. Mostly minor changes - I validated all the code still works and tests pass.
- 6d1a673ba  2026-04-02 Jonathan Thomas          Adding final 3.5.1 translation compiled files (qm files)
- 7bfb2c11f  2026-04-02 Jonathan Thomas          Adding missing translatable strings for Optimize feature

- d3272e827  2026-04-02 Jonathan Thomas          Improving test_translations.py to also check user-guide translation syntax, for missing placeholders, accidental unescaped % signs, and gettext correctness. Updating README.md with better instructions.
- 02d990fbf  2026-04-02 Jonathan Thomas          Updating user-guide language README instructions, for calling `make gettext` and merging those template changes into all *.po files. Also, updating all po files with new pot tepmlate changes.
- e4f0db52b  2026-04-02 Jonathan Thomas          Updating user-guide docs translation templates
- 8758e80e2  2026-04-02 Jonathan Thomas          Updating core OpenShot translation templates for new release
- de6d8aad1  2026-04-02 Jonathan Thomas          Fixing regression on auto-play preview dialog (was slow to open, resize event was fighting auto-play signal), now it's faster to start playback, and still resizes correctly when window changes sizes.
