I'm not sure whether this is new or longstanding, but I thought auto-cropping used to stay how it was set until I changed it, and with recent versions it seems to revert to off after every print. I prefer to have the setting be durable, or at least that to be the default behavior. This is causing really irritating behavior like my choosing from the Prints tab 5.1x7.1" (my custom size, to trim to borderless 5x7" when printed on letter-size pages) and, despite my custom cropping, it gives me the original aspect ratio so 4.72x7.10". I guess I have to go in and manually turn on auto-cropping for every image I'm laying out.

So I think this is a change in Qimage's behavior and I find it very irritating. Hopefully there's an easy fix!

All settings are sticky so if you turn on autocropping, it'll stay on until you turn it off.  You must be doing something like loading a printer setup or a job: those honor the settings that were used at the time they were saved.

Thanks for the quick reply, but that is definitely not how my copy (version 2022.120, so current) is behaving. I even wondered if somehow auto-cropping had been turned off when I saved the printer settings for the paper I was using, so I laid out a couple of images on a page, turned on auto-cropping for each, did a "Save current printer settings" over the older one for the paper I was using. When I go to layout the next page, auto-cropping is again off.

Hmm.  I just thought of something.  Are you using a layout (Layout positioning selected)?  If so, then maybe your layout has auto-cropping turned off.  In that case, you'd have to turn auto cropping off and resave the layout since autocropping and many other settings are part of a layout.
