PM+ ingesting issues

[Ziggy487]

Even though I have "Incremental Ingest: copy new photos only", I am getting duplicates copied into the same folder.

Any ideas, also let me know is the PM_log.zip file attached

Are the duplicates recent (last few weeks) or older (before the time change) ?

This happened over the weekend.  And previously, but I finally got around to asking.

I'd like to see your Photo Mechanic log.  In Photo Mechanic go to the Help menu and choose "Reveal Support Data..." and moments later a Finder window will come forward with the zipped log file selected.  Use the 'Attachments and other options' link when you're composing your reply to this message and there you'll be able to upload your zipped PM log file.

Thanks,

It appears that your card cannot be written to.  If you correct this condition, I expect that the situation will improve.  Not on the very next Ingest, but the second and later ones will.

confused how the card can't be written to.  But they are formatted in Sony Cameras, is that the issue?

[Kirk Baker]

It could be any number of issues.  If the card has a write-protect tab, make sure that it is moved to the off position.  It could be a permissions issue.  For a problem like this, I suggest contacting our support folks at:
