- +Set a custom max value for the Power gauge so the dial fills the way you want for your effort level
- +Show centiseconds on the playhead timestamp for frame-accurate editing — toggle it in Settings
Improvements
- ~Auto-sync on import can now be turned off in Settings if you prefer to place clips manually — right-click auto-sync still works per-clip when the global toggle is off
- ~Normalized Power now appears instantly when you scrub the timeline instead of needing ~30 seconds of playback to fill its rolling window (requires FTP to be set)
- ~Reconnecting to Strava now automatically re-fetches the activity you had loaded, so you don't have to reload it yourself
