Photo Mechanic Plus Catalog stuck on Updating 1 Catalog, 10 Batches remaining

[Sallinen]

Hi,

I have my photos and catalog on a NAS SMB share (I know.. Catalog is supposed to be local) because I use the same catalog on two computers.

The catalog worked ok for single computer through the NAS share but upon adding it to a second computer and adding photos to catalog the catalog Metadata Updates task got stuck in "Updating 1 Catalog, 10 Batches remaining" with following error displayed.

I do have a backup of the catalog so I can revert the adding of new photos I did on the second computer.

Restarting Photo Mechanic Plus and re-integrating catalog seemed to solve the issue, catalog updated successfully.

Next 'Include in Catalog' worked as expected.

Are you using the same catalog between two computers at the same time?  If so, that will corrupt your catalog eventually.  Sharing a catalog between two computers simultaneously is not supported.

I'm using it on one computer at a time, the other has Photo Mechanic closed just to be sure.

As I'll be switching between two computers (going through 128 000 photos for a photo book) I decided to keep the catalog on a NAS so I wouldn't need to remember to copy it between the two.
The NAS has RAID + nightly ZFS snapshots which get rsync'd to a remote server "just in case" something goes wrong eventually.
