Displaing Images From Multiple Folders
« on: March 20, 2015, 05:33:25 PM »
I'd like to select/tag images from different folders (not move or copy them), then have them displayed in a single "virtual" Contact sheet. Is that possible? If so, how?

Yes, Photo Mechanic can open multiple folders into a single contact sheet.

From the Navigator or Favorites, to combine two folders into one Contact Sheet, right-click (Ctrl-click) the folder you want to add in and select the ‘Open in Current Contact Sheet’ option. Option-double-click will also open the folder in the current contact sheet window.

That's cool. Can you save the view or does it disappear when you exit the program?

Remember Folders as a Favorite...: This command is only active when the current Contact Sheet tab is browsing multiple folders. When used, this command ‘remembers’ the set of folders as a Favorite in the Favorites panel.

The manual has all kinds of hints and documents PM really well.  Please take some time to read it.  It may save you many hours of time in your workflow.
