Hey @horiaconstantin-cpi, thanks for reporting this! This looks like some local cache issue.

As in, I tried the steps you described, and the actual edits are getting preserved correctly, but it seems like the app is meanwhile showing some stale cached thumbnails and/or full resolution images. Sometimes it picks up the updated version, sometimes it keeps showing the old version (but in both cases the updates get correctly synced).

You can verify this by killing and restarting the app after the photo gets synced. You'll see the updated version always.

This is still a bug though - the app should not be showing old cached versions. Thank you for the clear bug report!
