- Possibility of restarting an unfinished building site while keeping the homologous points.
- Addition of an item to the expert menu: change the length of the prefix used to define several devices. 
- removal for old versions of 32-bit windows and linux installers.
  These installers (msi 32 bit for version 5.0; deb and rpm for version 3.14) remain available in the Github history. 

Version of 12 March 2019: 5.32

  These photos make the orientation search 'crash'.

  Several scenes with no common homologous points cause the search for orientation to fail.
  This function is added to the 'Tools/Photo quality' item.
- When the MAXLINELENGTH message is issued by Tapioca, it is displayed and explained in the synthetic trace.
- The error concerning the filedialog function in Mac-Os is taken into account when searching for programmes (exiftool...).
