Ratings not retained
« on: June 04, 2014, 07:00:50 PM »
I am running Photomechanic 5.0 on a Mac (OSX 10.7.5).

I am inserting my SD card into the computer and viewing the files on the card using Photo Mechanic. I then delete files and assign ratings to those that I keep on the card.  When I put the card in again later, the ratings are gone. Should the ratings be staying with the files, and if so, why are they not doing so?  Thank you.

Hi!
The default is NOT to modify images on the card. You need to enable this by going to the following steps:
Preferences => Files.
Set a tick in " Allow modification of files on Camera Disk (not recommended! )"
Close the dialog with "OK"

HTH

After 5 years of absence I restarted the photography.

Thank you, Kirk - that makes sense.

I sometimes rate after ingesting, and sometimes rate without ingesting; I didn't realize there was a difference. Thanks for clearing this up.
