Default crop setting to be unlocked

I updated my Camera Raw today and notice that the crop tool is always set in the lock position. Since I'm always cropping in odd ratios, I have gotten used to having it unlocked as a default. I try setting it multiple times and after searching for what felt like an hour, I couldn't figure it out.

Is there a way to set the default to unlock setting in the crop tool?

Exactly, but have it as a default.

Right now, when I open a new document, it will stay in a locked ratio. I would like to revert back to when it was unlocked without having to go back to versions. I know I could easily unlock it by clicking the icon, but the workflow was faster without that extra step.

The default is "Full" and you can either select some preset (make your own) or move it so it becomes as shown, unlocked. But indeed, AFAIK, when you open a new raw, the default is Full from which you now do something with that you desire.

Of course, if you pick say 1:1, and apply that crop, select "Done", the next time you open that raw, its crop isn't "Full" but what you saved with the Done command.

I guess my frustration is that it's not behaving as described. It's constantly resetting to "Full" instead of the new ratio. I keep having to click the lock icon to unlocked or select a ratio when cropping. It's not the end of the world, if I am being honest, it's new a adjustment on my end.

Thank you for the assist
