Turn on "Skip cuts" on the playback bar to play the video without the cut parts. Use the previous/next cut buttons to jump between cuts.
Select several analysis candidates and confirm them as cuts at once (one Undo restores them all). Dismissed candidates can be returned to undecided.
Added "About" to the Help menu, which shows the version and the license.

Removed "Shorten". Overlapping or touching cuts are now merged into one, and shortened cuts in older projects are converted when opened.
In simple mode too, you can ask Gemini for cut candidates with "Ask AI" in the candidates pane.
Added "Current position" to the subtitle and shape panes, and aligned the shape pane with the subtitle pane ("Redraw shape"). Clicking a band on the timeline selects the matching row in the list.

Fixed the user guide not opening from Help in the Microsoft Store version (the user guide is now the web version only).
The video prepared for Gemini subtitles is now created inside the project folder. If preparing it fails, the step and the full path are shown.
