Access to files restricted in PM+
« on: January 29, 2023, 06:45:10 AM »
I'm not sure what's happening here. I am in PM+ and everything has been going well. Now, all of a sudden, some of my files show as offline (yellow dot) and I can't modify them.

Thing is, I can go into just PM and they are accessible and modifiable. Why would I not have access to these files in PM+? All photos I am trying to access are in catalogs that are searchable and modifiable.

The files are there; I can see and access them through Finder.

I don't think I have changed any settings and have no idea what the problem is.

Any suggestions? Many thanks.

UPDATE: I just imported one of the folders with files involved and it imported just fine. I don't know what caused the issue, but I'm going to try just deleting and reimporting affected catalogs.

Is the path to the file in Finder the same as the path to the file shown at the bottom of the Photo Mechanic Plus window when you click on the item in the Contact Sheet?

I can't check that as the reimported catalogs are fine. But will keep it in mind if the problem reoccurs.

Thank you.
