Python sample code for detecting faces in the recording material files included in the SyncVV project file has been added.
Added Python sample code for handling SyncVV project files in an object-oriented way.
The take material export function now allows you to pass the results of filtering on the take list screen. This allows you to filter by tag on the take list, and then further filter by rating on the take material export dialog, etc., for more flexible operation.
Added an item to the menu that appears when you right-click on the take list to open the composite guide dialog.
You can now insert tags for inserting the project name and take number into the input screen from the menu that appears when you right-click on the take name input component with the mouse.

Improvements
