Launching Preferences
« on: July 15, 2022, 04:32:25 PM »
I am trying to change my external editor preferences.  However, when I go into preferences and select launching and make the changes, nothing happens.  The current programs will launch, but I can't remove them as a launching preference nor can I add new ones.  I try to add new programs, but they do not show up in the "edit photo with" tab.  The old ones are still there.

PM 6 build 6496

Could you post a screenshot of your settings? That might help us troubleshoot this.

Here is the preferences page and it includes the launching tab.  I want to delete the current options and add some new ones.  I can go through the process of adding new ones, and then saving it or selecting apply now.  However, the options do not change when I select "edit photo with".

Thanks

EJ

The forum appears to be cutting off half of the snap shot.  I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

I'd like to see your Photo Mechanic log.  In Photo Mechanic Plus 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,

-Kirk

Kirk,

I messed up.  I posted to the wrong section.  I am not using PM Plus, but rather using the regular PM.

Sorry about that.
