lost my spell check while typing feature in Photo Mechanic 6
« on: November 20, 2025, 11:42:02 AM »
Hello,
I recently lost my Check Spelling While Typing feature in Photo Mechanic Version 6.0, build 7285 (fb3e520), actually lost all spell check features in PM. I am currently running Mac OS Tahoe 26.1 Any thoughts on how to get this feature working again?
Thank you kindly

We've tried to reproduce this issue with the same build of PM6 and macOS Tahoe and we're unable to reproduce.  For a problem like this, I suggest contacting our support folks at:

By email: support@camerabits.com

Was anything figured out about this? I continue to have issues with spell check disappearing from Photo Mechanic.

No. The other user never followed up by email, and it continues to work as expected for us (we tested on both MacOS Ventura 13.6 and MacOS Tahoe 26.1 and 26.2).

Have you checked that "Check spelling of Caption field as you type" is enabled in the Contact Sheet section of Preferences?

What fields are you typing in? The Caption field in the Metadata Info/Metadata Template windows? Or other fields?
