PM6
« on: October 02, 2025, 10:05:55 AM »
Hi, I actually use PM6 (not plus) , which I have updated to the latest (and last) version c6R7285. Could you confirm that it correctly works with the new MacOS Tahoe please ?

It has a few issues.

One is inline renaming in the Contact Sheet thumbnails (when you double-click on the filename), another is when renaming keywords in the Structured Keywords panel and dialog.  It is cosmetic.  The issue has been reported to Apple.  They may fix it.

Another is with the {whitebalance} variable when using Sony cameras.  Sometimes it will evaluate to random characters.  It would have to be fixed in PM6 itself.  No further development is planned for PM6.  The fix for this will be in the next build of Photo Mechanic 2025.

Another is with using Cut/Copy/Paste via keyboard shortcuts in some of the dialogs (Metadata for instance).  macOS Tahoe (26.1) should fix this.

I know you said you don't use the Plus version, but for completeness sake, the last known issue is with the Catalog UI.  The entire UI is scaled incorrectly and is unusable.  The issue has been reported to Apple.  If they make a fix to macOS Tahoe for this, then I expect the Catalog UI will start working correctly again.  This issue does not occur on Photo Mechanic 2025 (Universal Binary).  It does occur on the Intel-only builds of Photo Mechanic 2025 and will also only start working correctly again if macOS Tahoe is fixed.

Thanks for your answer. So I understand it is not the right moment to upgrade to OS Tahoe. As PM6 will be no longer updated, if I purchase now Photo Mechanic, (still not PMplus as I do not want the catalog), will it be ready for Tahoe or not yet ?

There are some known issues with Photo Mechanic 2025 with macOS Tahoe at this time.  We're readying a build that addresses them and it will be released soon, probably next week.
