problem with PM and Nikon Files
« on: May 02, 2009, 11:01:54 AM »
Hi all,

Since moving to Mac I have used photo mechanic and love it, since moving to Nikon last week I have noticed that when I ingest 3 or 4 cards it previews the first 3 photos ( one from each camera) and then wont show anymore until the ingest is complete and then it sorts and views,

I have always ingested 4 cards at once using my lexar stackable so the only difference is the Nikon files,

I have always shot raw, I now shoot Raw lossless compressed 14bit.

any ideas please ? I have the latest version of PM on a mac pro Mac OSX 10.5.6

Previously when I ingest my canon files it previews as we go along ?

Thanks Jules

I have no idea. It works fine for me when I ingest a single card.  Have you already tried ingesting a single card? Does the problem exist there too? How about if you ingest two cards at the same time?

Cheers.

Please make sure you're running PM 4.6.1 beta 7 instead of PM 4.6.0.  You can get the beta from the Announcements section of the forums.  It should solve your issue.
