What wouldn't upload?

The problem displayed in the dialog indicates that PM cannot create files in the directory that you're browsing.

I'd like to see your Photo Mechanic log.  In Photo Mechanic go to the Help menu and choose "Reveal Support Data..." and moments later a Windows Explorer window will come forward with the zipped log file selected.  Use the 'Attachments and other options' link when you're composing your reply to this message and there you'll be able to upload your zipped PM log file.

Thanks,

How much disk space does the drive that you're working with have left?

I have 24.7 GB on the SSD drive I use in my laptop
Attached are the logs

Thank you for the log file. I'm seeing problems with Photo Mechanic being unable to open it's own temp files. It appears as though some other app is interfering.

Are you running any Antivirus applications other than Windows Defender? If so, does the issue persist if you disable your AV apps?

Do you have any apps other than Photo Mechanic browsing these folders? I recommend closing all other applications to see if that resolves the issue.

HTH,
Jerry

Deryck,

I have 24.7 GB on the SSD drive I use in my laptop

Is that the C:\ drive?

To confirm: You're saying that you have 24.7GB free space on the drive?

Yes it is my C drive
This laptop is for taking photos, ingesting and captioning and uploading as well as emails and writing when I travel

No antivirus or other software or configurations have changed since before the upgrade when it worked perfectly with the last version of Photo Mechanic.
Can I revert to the previous level?
