Issues with version 5
« on: March 20, 2019, 03:56:08 AM »
Hi there

I am having a couple of problems with my Photo Mechanic software and wonder if you can help me. I am using version 5.

Firstly, when I close a contact sheet on my Mac book, in my toolbar at the bottom of the screen, I cannot then launch or find another contact sheet. I have to close Photo Mechanic and relaunch it in order to open new contact sheets.

Secondly, and more importantly, when I am using the IPTC stationery panel, when I put the variable {headline} or {caption} in the Title/Object Name field, the information from the Headline or Description/Caption field does not work and all I see are the words {headline} or {caption}

Please can you tell me how to correct both of these issues. Everything else seems to be working in the programme.
