Description

The help text associated with the Refresh List button in the Pictures tab does NOT just update the captions and the verse references.

It totally wiped out every setting I had for my pictures. It changed the scale, changed the Anchor, changed the location. Sorry, but this is a serious bug! The refresh button should have kept everything exactly the same and just tweaked the caption text for each picture.

And it even removed 5 out of the 12 pictures from my PTXprint project!

How do I hit UNDO?

I don't see any way to return to the previous settings.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Refresh List action in the Pictures tab with a project containing multiple pictures and configured scale, anchor, location, captions, and verse references. Compare the project before and after refreshing, including whether pictures are removed and whether an undo path exists. Done means the action updates only captions and verse references while preserving all picture settings and the complete picture list.
