I'll have to do this update and get back to you, but I would like to know: if in Preferences -> General, you have "On Mount of Camera Disk" set to "Show Ingest dialog" or "open as Contact Sheets", do those functions work?

Hi,Yes I do have my preferences as you mentioned...On Camera Mount/Show Ingest dialog...............

Does that function work? Does it show the Ingest dialog? If you change it to "Open as Contact Sheet" does it open a contact sheet when you plug in the card?

The auto ingest function didnt work/start on the mount of a card however I tried your suggestion 'open as contact sheet' and it did indeed open a contact sheet on the mount of a card.....I then changed preferences back to Show Ingest Dialog and all back working when a card/reader is mounted! Must have been some 'glitch'....thanks for the help!

False alarm,still not working....it worked in the test in previous post but seems like its back to recognising cards when mounted,last few days the original problem is back.......tried the 'open contact sheet' then changed the preference back but its not even doing either now....

I don't remember ever having to do this with Windows 10, but on Windows 11 I had to go into my Autoplay settings and choose Photo Mechanic for what it should do when a memory card is inserted. Do you have Autoplay set to "Open or Ingest (Photo Mechanic)" for Memory Cards?

legend! thank you....I should have thought of that,it worked!
