That means that the photo is added to the "Quick Collection", a temporary location for photos. I.e. selecting a group of photos from multiple folders to then export, print  or process

And I thought it was an indication that the CIA was watching to see if you were giving away military secrets (?)   :-\

It is there to warn you it is time to check with your opthamologist. If you see a perfect circle as oval, that is.  ::) ;)

And yes, as Frank said above, it serves a very useful purpose.

Not quite. A circle is always an oval, albeit one with equal axes.

Yes.....we can say that a circle is always an oval. but an oval is no always a circle.

after sitiing in front of this screen for twelve hours or more ....a square or any other rectangle... can  look a bit like an oval
