Won't sort by capture time
« on: September 07, 2015, 10:04:14 AM »
Hi

For some reason my PM just won't sort my files into capture time.  It has worked perfectly fine in the past but now won't do it.  It seems to just sort into file name?

Please help!

Thank you

What version of Photo Mechanic are you using and on what OS are you running it on?

Try flushing the Sort Cache (in the Caching section of the Preferences dialog) and then reopen the contact sheet.

Tried with no success - would it be anything to do my one camera has files named TCB_ and the other is _TCB??  Although I would think that is should just sort them by time??

No.

I'd need to get some sample images from you to see why PM isn't seeing the Capture Time in your images.  Can you provide some samples?

Thanks,

At least two images that reproduce the problem.  You can either upload them somewhere and provide me a link to download them, or contact me privately and I'll give you information about our server and you can upload them there.
