Shell Extension
« on: November 29, 2020, 02:34:13 PM »
When I try to open a JPEG file from Windows Explorer, a box appears that says:
"Photo Mechanic Shell Extension
CreateProcess failed."

I've restarted the computer and reinstalled PM, to no avail.

Running Version 6.0, build 5376, under Windows 10 Home, version 20H2

Roger,

CreateProcess failed."

How is it that you're opening a JPEG?  Double-clicking it?  Drag and drop?

Sorry -- got that wrong. It happens when I right-click on a folder to open in a new contact sheet.
