Cannot create a collection
« on: May 03, 2019, 03:31:00 PM »
I am wondering if I am just not doing it the right way, but I cannot seem to create a collection.  I did a quick search of this forum but not an exhaustive search.

Photo Mechanic Plus Version 6.0, build 3029 (9dd0f3c)
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014)
Mojave 10.14.4
processor 2.5GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Let me know if there is any more information you need.

Here is what worked for me.  In the Organizer window click on "Collections."  Then right-click in the box and you get the option to "Create top level Collection," and you can subsequently create sub-folders within those top level collections.  My problem is that I created one top level collection for family and then a sub-folder for my children.  I was able to add the first images that I selected by right clicking in the "Collections" box and choosing "Add Selected Items Here."  However, after this initial addition of images, every time I now select images and the right-click in the "Collections" box, it opens a search window rather than allowing me to add the images to the collection.

Thanks everyone for your feedback.

Improvements have been made, and should appear in the next build.
