Option Key Copy
« on: January 24, 2025, 10:39:51 PM »
Not sure if this is a PM problem or a Mac OS problem, but it used to be that you could copy photos by holding down the option key and dragging them out of PM to any other place. That feature seems to have disappeared in the last several months. Does anyone have any idea where the problem might be? Maybe a permissions issue? Thanks.

Might be a problem on your side. Works in my PM with both option (force copy) and command (force move) keys

The issue arose due to us moving to a newer version of the MacOS SDK, and we did not catch the issue in testing. The builds linked in this post include a fix for this issue (amongst other things) and an official update is forthcoming: https://forums.camerabits.com/index.php?topic=16407.msg80474#msg80474

I just realized that I am running Photo Mechanic Enterprise Version 6.0, build 7212. Neither of the download options are for Enterprise. Is there one for that or will the one for Photo Mechanic Plus work? Many thanks.
