emailing from Photo Mechanic - bug?

[Matthew]

Hi Kirk,

I'm using OSX 10.11.1 and Photo Mechanic 5.0 (16765).

This evening I was sending a set of pictures out to several media outlets and ran into a problem while emailing pictures from within PM.

I selected a group of six pictures and sent them via email. I have configured the settings in the 'Send Photos Via Email' window so that a separate email is created for each image - and the images are not reviewed in Mail.

When I clicked send Mail opened and new emails were created and sent straight away. I checked what I'd sent later that evening and the six emails were in my sent box - but not one of them had any images attached.

This is the same setup I've always used and have never had a problem. Any ideas what's wrong?

Apple changed how Mail works with AppleScripts.  It doesn't wait for the images to be added to the message before it sends it.  If you choose the option to review the message before sending then you can visually verify that the image is present before you press send.

We'll have an update soon that adds an artificial delay to the scripts so that the non-review method will work again.
