Re-record the manual for 0.17.0, with albums and the new preset sheet
Every scene is recorded again on the 0.17.0 build, because the header (Export to Exports), the sidebar (Albums) and the develop column had all moved. The launch pictures showed the typed folder field, and the export settings "Export to"; the presets picture predated the sections. New scenes: presets_film scrolls the sheet down through the shipped sections and applies Ilford HP5 Plus, a look that changes the film and nothing else; albums exports four New York frames to an album, selects it to show the originals behind its files, and opens a new album's sheet before deleting what it made. record.sh now points the profile's old export folder at DR_HOME/Exports, which the app turns into the album "Exports" on first open - the one way to have an album without the portal's dialogue, which Xvfb cannot show. The launch scene signs out of a remembered folder instead of typing one, so it shows "Open folder" beside the folder used last. Not recorded: the server browser's New folder, which needs a Nextcloud server, and the download screen, which a folder library never reaches (the original is a local read, over before the first poll). The manual says so where it describes each. film_reach and duplicates passed; inference was pinned to the CPU.
