Can't remove images from catalogue
« on: December 02, 2024, 11:08:58 PM »
I mistakenly added images from another source to my main catalogue of all my personal images and I am wanting to remove them. When I right click on that collection and say "remove folder" nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Here is a screen grab of what I am doing, but it takes no effect.

I'm not able to reproduce that issue on my end. What version and build of Photo Mechanic Plus are you on and what operating system?

If you choose "Update Folder location" does that work? (you should see a window that lets you pick a location for the Folder, you can just cancel out of it once you see that).

If you want a quick workaround, you could always just click on the folder itself, and then when it opens a Contact Sheet, select all the items and then right-click on any one one of them and choose "Remove Items from Catalog", an then click 'Remove' on the proceeding dialog. Make sure you only have the "Add/Modify" box checked only for the catalog that you'd like to remove the items from.

Thanks so much for your input ahoward. I am on Mac OS 14.5 and I am on Photo Mechanic Plus 6.0 build 7212. I have also tried the removing of items from the catalogue that you suggested, but that too does not work. Here is a video of what I am experiencing: https://vimeo.com/1035896833/72737d7d91?share=copy
