Filter selection box always toggled off

[bobby]

Dear Kirk (and others),

I've run into an issue with Photo Mechanic version 4.6.3 running on Vista x64 (service pack 2) on my quad CPU with 8GB of ram:

When I double-click to view a folder of images the filter selection for grey box is always toggled off.  This means that photos which were not tagged with any color class are not visible until I click on that box.  (these are the colored boxes at the bottom right of the screen)

Once I click on the far-right box to enable the visibility of images not tagged with any color-class, I am able to see all the images.

One more, and possible related issue, is that when I double-click on a folder of images that folder does not become highlighted (to indicate that I'm currently viewing it).  Instead, the same folder which was previously highlighted remains highlited.

I've now re-installed Photo Mechanic, however, these issues did not go away.  Is there a way to reset any global settings or preferences which may be in effect even when the program is re-installed?

What can I do to get rid of this issue?

Thank you in advance!

Bob

Set the Color Class filter the way you want it to be.  Then right-click on it.  Choose 'Set as default' from the contextual menu.

That should do it.
