Olympus OMD1-MarkII - Update

[Erwin]

When will there be an update for Olympus OMD-1MarkII?

[Bob Russell]

  We will need to have a few same files from this camera before we can attempt to add new support to Photo Mechanic. Can you ftp a couple of sample files to our ftp server?

-- Update :

  I was able to locate some sample raw files from dpreview and it looks like the next Photo Mechanic 5 post will have the same raw support as the other previous Olympus cameras.

When will there be an update for Olympus OMD-1MarkII?

Here are unofficial builds that we're currently testing (we expect them to be final after the holidays.)

Version 5.0 Build 180xx

Both:
• Ingest now ignores the new ImgSaver.bin file created by some Canon cameras.
• Added support for Canon 5D Mk IV, M5, 1300D, and PowerShot G7 X Mk II, Olympus E-M1 Mk II and E-PL8 models for parsing Maker Notes.
• Added more columns and editing capabilities for Artwork or Object metadata in the IPTC dialogs.
• Warnings that appear when opening a read-only media such as a DVD-ROM can now be disabled by setting DISABLE_READ_ONLY_WARNINGS to ON in your PMDebug.txt file.  Enabling a debug flag is documented here: http://wiki.camerabits.com/en/index.php?title=PMDebug
• Warnings that appear when opening a camera card when your preference is set to not allow modifications on a camera card can be disabled by setting DISABLE_CAMERA_CARD_WARNINGS to ON in your PMDebug.txt file.  Enabling a debug flag is documented here: http://wiki.camerabits.com/en/index.php?title=PMDebug
• Tab-Separated Value text files (*.TSV) may be chosen in the file picker brought up by clicking the Load button in the Structured Keywords dialog/panel.
• Added support for DXO Optics Pro settings files (they are associated with their base file and are copied/moved/renamed along with the main image file.)  Users who don’t use DXO Optics Pro can disable the extension by setting IGNORE_EXTENSION_DOP ON in the PMDebug.txt file.  Documented here: http://wiki.camerabits.com/en/index.php?title=PMDebug
• Fixed a hang that could occur when loading snapshots in the Live Ingest dialog.
• Fixed a hang that occurs when deleting metadata that is malformed.

Mac:
• Made it possible to open the snapshot menu via keypress rather than mouse click only.

Thank you very much!  Works fine for me!

We now have an "official" release which can be downloaded from our Downloads page on our website.

The current build is now 18040.

The link posted by Kirk above had an issue on the Mac with text clipping in the IPTC dialogs and we recommend that you update to the 18040 build above.
