Subfolder are not scanned in favorites, randomly
« on: August 25, 2025, 02:05:30 PM »
Started noticing that on some occasions PM skips reading subfolders in some folders. I have to manually refresh the parent folder (if more than one) or just folder that is not displaying subfolders.

Photo Mechanic version 2025.6, build 8622

Somehow it is exactly the same folders 20250806 and 2050817 in August, even after relaunch they are missing the triangle.
Also refreshing parent folder does nothing, I thought it did. So manual refresh for each

Max,

Anything special about the permissions or ACLs on these folders?

Not really, settings look the same. No hidden files in them or in root folder. Most are usually created using PM Ingest.


Interestingly, same folders behave the same way on archive drive.
Also none of the folders had this issue in June, or May. It started happening in July.

So, it is definitely a disk issue. Another Mac, another PM. Same folders do this
