Cant find Navigator
« on: January 20, 2021, 01:39:00 PM »
Just downloaded PMP... watches videos.... opened up PM set up a catalog but cant open a catalog.... went to forums... read forums.... cant find navigator, Cant see navigator., cant open navigator.... starting to think navigator is a myth. I have a catalog but cant view catalog because there is no navigator..... only slightly frustrated. Can someone show me where or how or if there is such thang as a navigator?

Thanks :-(

Hi Kirk,

Thanks for the info but there is nothing that says how to open the organizer window. There is no menu item that opens the organizer or navigator window that I can see or find.

Hi Kirk,

I would very much like to have a keyboard-shortcut which toggles hide/reveal of the Organizer panel. I usually don't have it open to maximise the contact-sheet space & such a shortcut would be very handy. Tab would be the obvious choice, which performs a similar function in many other programs. Thanks!

David,

Can you post a screen shot of what your Photo Mechanic Plus main window looks like?  Use the 'Attachments and other options' link when you're composing your reply to this message and there you'll be able to upload your JPEG format screenshot.

Thanks,

-Kirk

a click on the left side of the page and drag to the right should be enough. It happened to me the other day ....

I had the same problem (on mac).  I could see the two hash marks on the Left side of the frame but could not click and drag to open the left column (it would always resize the contact sheet frame).  I finally figured out to hover over the two hash marks until you get the single cursor arrow pointing right -- then double click to open the left column and access the navigator/organizer pane. FYI

Otherwise, a double-click here...
It works on Mac, see with Windows....

Great tip I didn't know—many thanks!
Would still like a keyboard shortcut as well, though
