Autorun Ingest to PM
« on: June 29, 2009, 03:08:19 PM »
Under Windows XP Pro, inserting a card with images into the card reader opened a selection box with ingest into PM as a choice.  I have upgraded (or maybe downgraded, I haven't decided) to Vista 64 on a new system.  I no longer get the PM ingest as a choice when a card is inserted.  Going to the autorun configuration gives me only limited choices and no PM.  I found an app called Autoplay Repair (not MS Autoplay fixer) that allows more modifications to the autorun selections.  However, I'm not sure what I need to point to as far as an .exe file goes.  Just going to PM opens PM but not the ingest menu.  I know I'm only a couple of clicks away or I could set PM to always open to ingest.  The whole autoplay issue is a minor inconvenience not a major deal so I can live with it if necessary.  I'm just a tinkerer (or control freak) I guess and want to set things my way.  Oh, On mount of Camera Disk is set to show ingest dialog.

Our AutoPlay handler doesn't work with 64-bit systems so it is not listed in the AutoPlay preferences.  There is not much you can do about it from your end at the moment.

The 64 bit thing seems to be a problem with a lot of software and hardware.  If it weren't so time consuming to start over, I might just go back to XP Pro on this system.  With more computers coming with 64 bit Vista and soon WIN 7, maybe the support will increase.  I did use Autoplay Repair to set open PM as a choice when a camera card is inserted.  That gets me partway there.

Thanks.

I have WIN Vista 32Bit and the AutoPlay handler also doesn't work.

If i press CTRL-G the ingest dialog pop up and the card can read.

That is the expectation currently for Windows 64-bit OSes.
