'Permission Denied' for External Drive
« on: March 12, 2021, 04:20:02 AM »
In the catalog log I am constantly seeing: '... failed to create or read sharepoint record at: "K:/" - Permission denied' (see below).  The issue seems to mean that thumbnails have to be constantly regenerated.  I have assumed that this is a permissions issue for the hidden file .pmshare in the root of K and have given full access permissions to 'Everyone' for this drive but the problem persists.  Is there something else I should try?

    C:/Program Files/Camera Bits/Photo Mechanic Plus/pmruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/2.2.0/cila/fiberpool.rb:60:in `block in add_fiber'

That is happening because of a problem in the 5560 build of Photo Mechanic Plus.

Please try this build: https://www.camerabits.com/download/PMPlusSetupR5667_14372b53.msi

We expect it to solve this problem.  Please let us know what you find.

Thanks,
