PM + Crashes and freezing
« on: December 03, 2021, 01:23:08 PM »
Recently purchased update of PM6 to PM+ and having problems:

1. Persistent freezes of PM+ with spinning wheel.
2. As a result of 1. I keep having to Force Quite on my iMac.

System details:

OS is macOS Monterey

Processor Name:   6-Core Intel Core i5
  Processor Speed:   3.7 GHz
  Number of Processors:   1
  Total Number of Cores:   6
  L2 Cache (per Core):   256 KB
  L3 Cache:   9 MB
  Memory:   64 GB
  System Firmware Version:   1715.40.15.0.0

Suspect that I may have wrong settings and have attached JPG of preferences.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks Frank

Frank,

Set the Memory Cache Size down to 10%.  That should be plenty.

Whereas I love Photo Mechanic......Photo Mechanic Plus is a disappointment. It takes forever to update my one and only catalog.....is so slow I am seriously considering giving up.
