PM Won't Display DNG Files From Leica M8?

[Bob Baron]

I 'test drove' a Leica M8 in Dallas a couple of days ago.  I took about 20 or so images on an SD card; when I got home I loaded them onto a new  directory on my desktop and attempted to view them in PM.  No luck.

I understand these are DNG files.

Will PM 4.4.3.3 not read them?

That's correct.  PM 4.5 when it becomes available, will read and display them.

Thanks for the swift reply.

I'll look forward to the next version!

4.5 is out. why can't Photo Mechanic read the Leica DNG files??

Cotton,

OK - I've found the problem and fixed it for 4.5.1.

But PM will only show a small 310x206 thumbnail since Leica doesn't include any JPEG preview.
