PM will not auto ingest from memory card

[godfreypitt01@gmail.com]

I cannot get PM to auto ingest images when I insert a memory card (CF Express B).

I have tried different readers, have checked settings but nothing works.

Also, whatever I try, whenever I start PM, it always starts with only the RED colour class highlighted. How do I reset this so all colour classes are highlighted on startup.

Thirdly, is there a way of advancing to the next image with a keystroke when editing the metadata without clicking on the Save and Next button. I do not have a numerical keyboard on my laptop so cannot use the + button.

Thanks in advance.

I'll first need to know what operating system you are on to answer this.

Also, whatever I try, whenever I start PM, it always starts with only the RED colour class highlighted. How do I reset this so all colour classes are highlighted on startup.

Right-click on the filters at the top of the screen and click 'Turn all on'. Then Right-click again and choose 'Set as default'

Thirdly, is there a way of advancing to the next image with a keystroke when editing the metadata without clicking on the Save and Next button. I do not have a numerical keyboard on my laptop so cannot use the + button.

If you hover your cursor over the "Save and Next" button, it shows you the keyboard shortcuts available for this function. If you are on a recent build of Photo Mechanic, you can customize the shortcut to be a keystroke of your choosing.

Are your AutoPlay settings set so that Photo Mechanic opens when you connect a memory card?

They are now and all is fine. Thank you.
