Bug in Preview
« on: September 23, 2020, 05:08:05 PM »
I have a catalog of 2246 .tif files. In sort by date mode, in the Preview display, when I reach the newest photo and use the arrow left key that should take me back to the oldest photo, instead the newest image remains on display but the supposed file name changes to "Preview for . (2246 of 2246)"

If I press the left arrow again, the image remains the same but the name changes to "Preview for . (2245 of 2246)" I can repeat the process and the number just keeps incrementing down by one each time.

Thank you for the program I'm starting to love it and enjoy having a lot of files all in one browsable place. I can provide screen shots if you need them.

I'm unable to recreate the problem that you've reported.

The Photo Mechanic log file may have useful information. In Photo Mechanic go to the Help menu and choose "Reveal Support Data..."  Use the 'Attachments and other options' link when you're composing your reply and there you'll be able to upload the PM_log.zip file.

Thank you.
