 ### Library
 - Canon CR3 files show their full-size embedded JPEG (e.g. 6960 × 4640 on an EOS R6 Mark III) instead of the
   1620 × 1080 preview, and import with their metadata: capture time, camera, lens, exposure, GPS and XMP. Their raw

+  data is not decoded yet, so they stay preview-only. For CR3s imported earlier, Photo ▸ Reload from Disk (now in
+  the Photo menu and the photo context menu) picks up the full-size preview and fills in the camera metadata they
+  were missing, without touching anything already set.
 - Rename Photos never overwrites another photo when only the letter case changes (issue #95): on case-sensitive
   volumes (Linux, case-sensitive APFS) `img_1.JPG` next to `IMG_1.JPG` is a different photo and the renamed one gets
   `img_1-1.JPG`; on case-insensitive volumes the case change still goes through.
