PhotoMechanic not Ingesting
« on: October 29, 2007, 09:43:09 AM »
Latest version of PM on a Windows XP machine.

All of a sudden today when I put a card in to ingest PM says it is starting to ingest then it finishes in a couple of seconds.

No new contact sheet is open and no files are ingested.

Does this sound like some PM preferences are corrupt or what?

If so, what and where are they?

Reinstalling didn't help.

It sounds like you may have ingested everything on the card before and you have Incremental Ingest enabled.  Thus it does not ingest anything.  Try turning off Incremental Ingest if you really want to ingest them a second time.

Otherwise, I don't know why that would happen and I would need more information from you to solve the problem.

Thanks Kirk...

Turning off Incremental ingest solved my self inflicted problem.
