Keyboard Copy/Cut/Paste not working?
« on: September 19, 2025, 09:25:16 AM »
I have had issues recently with my keyboard not being able to cut/copy/paste in the IPTC of Photo Mechanic - I can right-click on the highlighted item and choose to cut, copy or paste, but if I highlight the item and try to use Command-C or Command-X or Command-V nothing happens (other than a alert noise from the computer).

Anyone else having this issue or know what setting I might have inadvertently set to cause this?

MacOS Tahoe 26.0 (was happening in last OS too)
MacBook Air M4 32GB RAM
PM: Plus version 2025.6, build 8622

I have never heard of this happening on prior versions of MacOS. Did you ever report these issues?

Is the issue on MacOS Tahoe consistent with this user's report? https://forums.camerabits.com/index.php?topic=16957.0

Yes the same issue, they described it a bit better than I did.

MacOS Tahoe 26.1 appears to fix this issue on two of our test machines. You can update to the "Developer Beta" now (which is available to everyone) if you'd like to confirm our findings, or the official 26.1 release will probably be out in a few weeks.

Note: you mentioned this happening in older OS's. I have not experienced that or seen it reported by anyone else. I have only experienced this issue in MacOS Tahoe. If there's an older version of MacOS where you can reproduce Copy/Paste issues, please email support@camerabits.com with steps to reproduce the issue in older versions of MacOS.
