PhotoMechanic Plus does not edit specific file in Liminar

Hi,

I configured PhotoMechanic to use Luminar as its photo editor, but when I edit from PhotoMechanic, Luminar opens in the last folder visited, not the desired photo.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thank you!!!

John,

I configured Photo Mechanic to use Luminar as its photo editor, but when I edit from Photo Mechanic, Luminar opens in the last folder visited, not the desired photo.

I suggest trying drag and drop instead.  Some applications don't work well via the "Edit" command in Photo Mechanic.

Thank you, @Kirk.  I tried dragging and dropping to no avail.

I tried launching Luminar from the command line using the full path to the raw file to be edited, and this worked.  I am wondering if there is a way to trace the call that PMP is issuing so start Luminar with the filename so that I can debug this?

Photo Mechanic uses the macOS-provided "Launch Services" to send a file to an application when you use the Edit command.  There is no 'command line' launch facility.
