PM 5 opens whenever my NAS connects
« on: December 19, 2012, 03:08:48 PM »
Photo Mechanic Version 5.0, build 13507 (c69a93e)
OS X 10.8.2

When my MacBook Pro wakes from sleep and re-connects with my Drobo FS (Ethernet connected), PM opens.  I have "Do Nothing" selected on mount of a camera disk.  Is there anything I can do to stop this behavior?

Richard,

Photo Mechanic Version 5.0, build 13507 (c69a93e)
OS X 10.8.2

When my MacBook Pro wakes from sleep and re-connects with my Drobo FS (Ethernet connected), PM opens.  I have "Do Nothing" selected on mount of a camera disk.  Is there anything I can do to stop this behavior?

Sure, open up Apple's Image Capture application and tell it not to launch Photo Mechanic when a disk is mounted.  Of course this will also keep PM from launching when a legitimate camera card is inserted.

Another option would be to find out why Image Capture thinks your Drobo is a camera disk.  You don't have a folder named "DCIM" on the root of your Drobo, do you?  If so, either remove that folder or rename it to something else.

HTH,

-Kirk

Thanks, Kirk.  No "DCIM" folder at all, but plenty of pictures on the NAS in various folders.  I didn't know about the Image Capture app. Lots to learn about OS X!
