Hello Everyone,
We are pleased to announce an update to the Photo Mechanic All-in-One application for macOS (Universal-Binary) and Windows. This new build addresses a number of issues present in the 8612 build.
On macOS, this build of Photo Mechanic requires macOS Ventura or higher. If you are using a Mac with macOS Monterey or older, you will need to upgrade to macOS Ventura or higher to use Photo Mechanic. This version of Photo Mechanic is written for both Intel-based and Apple Silicon-based Mac computers.
On Windows, this build of Photo Mechanic requires Windows 10 or higher. If you are using a Windows PC with Windows 8.1 or older, you will need to upgrade to Windows 10 or Windows 11.
This release is for current Monthly and Annual subscribers to Photo Mechanic or Photo Mechanic Plus, as well as those who purchased a perpetual license for either of those within the last twelve months.

Both:
• Fixed: Rescan fails to add restored file to Contact Sheet. If you caused an image to be moved to the Trash/Recycle Bin and then restored it later without rescanning and then forced a rescan, the restored image would not reappear.
macOS:
• Fixed: Command-W does not close the Preview window.
• Fixed: Using non-US keyboard layout does not work with customizable keyboard shortcuts. We have tested German (DE) and Bangladeshi (Bangla-Standard) keyboard layouts and both are capable of recording shortcuts and using them.
• Fixed: Keyboard shortcuts panel is horizontally scrollable. It shouldn’t have been.
• Fixed: Some items in the list of keyboard shortcuts have their descriptions cut off. We made the description column wider.
• Fixed: Crash when inline renaming in the Contact Sheet.
Windows:
• No Windows-specific changes in this build.
On Windows, you may see a window like the following appear when you try to install:
This is due to our recently updated code signing certificate. As long as you see
Camera Bits, Inc. as the publisher, you can trust the installer and choose "Run anyway". In time, as our certificate gains trust by Microsoft Defender, these warnings will cease to occur.
