Canon S90 & Photo Mechanic not playing nice together
« on: October 21, 2009, 01:14:25 PM »
Kirk –

Just thought I'd give you a heads up that PM kind of hates my new Canon S90 (a bitchen little RAW-shooting pocket camera).  Spinning beach ball of death appears on ingest at every attempt. Force-quit dialog says "program not responding."

The camera's only been out a week our so (in CA anyhow), so please let me know if I can help troubleshoot the issue.  If it was just another point and shoot I might just shrug. But I've got a feeling a lot of pros will be getting these as family or pocket cameras. I really like it.

Here's the poop:
- Canon Powershot S90
- Dane-Elec 4GB SDHC card (formatted in camera)
- Late model MacBook Pro 2.8 Core 2 Duo w/ 4GB RAM
- OS 10.6.1
- PM v4.6.1
* I thought perhaps the .MOV files might be the issue, but after shooting a card with only CR2+JPG it still occurred...

Photo Mechanic 4.6.1 and earlier are not at all compatible with Mac OS X 10.6.1.  Please try the 4.6.2 beta, available in the Announcements section of the forums.  Please let me know if the problem persists while using the beta version of Photo Mechanic 4.6.2.
