I am experiencing extremly high RAM usage and stalling of the whole system when sinply dragging selected photos (even 2,3 photos only) to another app (like Lightroom or PS). This was not happening before.
The whole system also hangs during the operation and this usually took just a second or two is now taking up to a minute.
System is completly inoperable during this. Started happening with the last update. It is everytime occurance and not just occasional.
Please ignore the advice of
vale. He knows that your license won't work with the 7441 build of Photo Mechanic. He is also aware that there are few differences between the 7102 build that you're running and the 7441 build that he is advising you to try.
Photo Mechanic 6 is still fully supported by Camera Bits. We will help you with problems that you may have, such as this one. We're also planning at least another free update to the Photo Mechanic 6 product line.
The Memory Cache setting in Photo Mechanic's Preferences controls how much memory it uses. Given that your system has 64 GB of RAM and the minimum Memory Cache setting is 10%, it seems that PM is not using more memory than intended.
I suggest contacting our direct support personnel on Monday. They will troubleshoot the issue with you directly. You can contact them at:

In the meantime, if you're certain that the problem started with the 7102 build of Photo Mechanic 6, then you could try uninstalling Photo Mechanic 6 and then installing the previous build you were using or any of the older builds listed here:
