Hi, I would LOVE to know how to disable two irritating Photo Mechanic features:

1. The auto import window that opens up whenever you mount a capture card.

2. The little message that pops up when you close the program asking if you really want to close the program.

Any help will be much appreciated.

On mount of Camera Disk: This is what action you would like to happen when Photo Mechanic senses that a card has been placed in a card reader. The logical choice here is the second one, ‘Show Ingest Dialog’, but you can also ignore it or cause the card to be browsed as a set of Contact Sheets.

2. The little message that pops up when you close the program asking if you really want to close the program.

Ask when quitting Photo Mechanic: When this is checked, Photo Mechanic will ask you if you're sure when quitting Photo Mechanic. This is most often useful if you are used to using keyboard shortcuts and accidentally use the shortcut to quit the program. If you have no contact sheet open, Photo Mechanic will not ask you if you are sure, even if this preference is enabled. Note: Enabling this preference may interfere with system shutdown on some computers as Photo Mechanic will not exit without confirmation.

HTH,
