incomplete tasks
« on: November 04, 2021, 06:14:06 AM »
Just upgraded to Plus and loving it; just in the first 24 hours, it's been worth the cost of the upgrade. I currently have four active catalogs plus the default catalog, but it seems like some tasks didn't complete. Catalog Metadata Gathering has about 2350 items remaining, Catalog Metadata Updates says 4 batches are remaining, and Catalog Image Preview Generation has 24,490 batches remaining. How do I restart these processes so they can complete?

Try quitting and relaunching Photo Mechanic Plus.

Didn't even need to do that. Figured out I could delete the default catalog and that cleaned things up. BTW, I was in the Plus beta process over a year ago, but it looked really complicated at the time, so I just went to 6 once you added the "search my Mac" function. But I've gotta say that the current state of Plus is far more intuitive, and I'm really loving it, just one day in. And not just intuitive... several times I've said "it oughta do this"... and it does. Great work!

Thanks.  We'll keep improving it as time goes on.
