Crash Picture
« on: February 24, 2026, 11:23:43 AM »
Using Photo Mechanic Version 6.0, build 7285 (fb3e520) and when the attached image is included in a file PM crashes immediately on opening.  Removing the image from the file, PM is normal.  But adding the image to an open PM file crashes PM.  PM just can't stand this image.

I've played with the image in several processors, resaved modified versions and nothing I have done to it makes it palatable to PM.

So, a magic image?

Thanks
Bob

I'm not sure I'd call it magic, but the Title field has over 8,800 characters in it and it ends with {title} {object} which ends up being recursive (the {title} variable references itself).

We can edit it and post it back here if you'd like.  PM 2026.x has safeguards in it that prevent the crash and I can edit the file to fix the Title field.

BobBalestri,

Here is the file with the edited Title/Object Name field.

Well so much for AI keyboarding/title generation, it just didn't seem to know when to stop......Thanks
