Moose,
I was searching without luck to find if PM makes a database of file names? The intent is so when I'm on the road, I have with me my file names and number of the last file.
No, Photo Mechanic 6 doesn't make a database of filenames.
But you can select all of the images in a contact sheet and use the Export... command on the File menu and then use the Text Exporter template. Use:
{filename}{nl}
for the middle text field, and use "Save all as one file". Then click the Export button and choose your filename. You'll now have a list of all of the files in that contact sheet. You can print it out or just view it with a text editor.
I'm not sure if that's what you're after or not.
Otherwise, if you really want a database that keeps track of your files, Photo Mechanic Plus is available as an upgrade and it can show you all of your files at once.
