View selected picture does not work during ingest

[Bjorn]

Im running on Windows 7 64 bit.

During ingest viewing selected picures does not work.
Then selecting several picture and chosing selected view I am only able to view one picture in full view. Not able to go to the next picture in full view. Then I go back to the selected view only one photo left, rest i gone.

Then ingest is finish, the selected view work as normal.

Any news?

Any news?

No.  I don't have Windows 7.  Photo Mechanic hasn't been tested with Windows 7 at all by us.  We still recommend Windows XP over Windows Vista.

Why do you need to view selected photos at all?  Why not just view from the initial photo you want to see?

Ok, thanks for the info.

Does not work under windows xp, just checked.

Bjorn,

Does not work under windows xp, just checked.

I just tried it on Windows XP with about a gigabyte of photos and I could select a bunch (say 10), click on the 'Preview' button, the Preview window would appear with the selected photos listed and I could use the arrow keys to move through the pictures, click on them with my mouse and they would change, all while the Ingest was going on.

Please tell me what I need to do to reproduce this issue on my own system.  Do you have a particular 'Sort' that you're using?  I'm sorting by 'Filename'.

Still got the problem during ingest both in preview window (with panes) and in full view.
Using NEF-files and sorted by filename.

One time all picture disappeared except the first one in selected view before I viewed theme.
That was the same time as it was added new picture to the contactsheet.

Im using:
Acer Aspire One
1 Gigabyte ram
Windows XP home servicepack 3
Sandisk ImageMate All-in-One USB cardreader
Sandisk Extreme III 32 GB CF-card

Perhaps you could post several screen shots that illustrate the problem?

Try not viewing by "Selected" in the toolbar.

Tried menubar--> selected view and F2, not working during ingest.

Change your 'View by:' in the tool bar to 'All'.

Works for me.

Tell me how to reproduce this issue (other than during Ingest) and I'll see what I can do to fix it.
