Photo Mechanic 4.4.3.1 beta comments

[Junebug]

4.4.3.1 was released a couple of days ago but the download page still lists 4.4.3 as current and downloading that file comes up with a 4.4.3 file created May 9, 2006?

Hi Kirk,

 on WinXP SP2 this indeed fails for the released version 4.4.3.1, highly irritating. Note that it worked fine before.

Cheers, Fons,

I have a problem that is related the drag-n-drop of images on a Windows XP Sp2 system.

The folder structure is,

Folder 1
Folder 2 - Sample1.jpg
 Sub-folder 1 - Sample2.jpg
 Sub-folder 2

Case 1: Works - drag-n-drop Sample2.jpg from Sub-folder 1 to Folder 1

Case 2: Works - drag-n-drop Sample2.jpg from Sub-folder 1 to Sub-folder 2

Case 3: Fails - drag-n-drop Sample2.jpg from Sub-folder 1 to Folder 2

Case 4: Fails - drag-n-drop Sample1 from Folder 2 to Sub-folder 1

Case 4: Works - darg-n-drop Sample2.jpg from Sub-folder 1 to Sub-folder 2

It appears that the upward movement of a file in a directory tree fails; while the downward or parallel movement works.

I just tested all of this with the same layout as you described, and Case 3 and Case 4 did not fail for me.

Are you sure you are testing the beta?  What is the creation date of your PMNavigator.ocx?  It should be Friday, June 02, 2006, 5:59:31 PM.

When it "fails" are there any message boxes that appear or does it fail silently?

Hello PhotoMechanic Buddies,

Clearing my browser cache worked and I was able to download the latest Mac and Windows versions.

Hi Kirk,

  no it just does not do it, the photos stays where it was (I use drag and drop to the parent folder). For me to move files one directory up the only way is to move the files to another top folder and from there to the parent of the original.

Cheers, Fons.

OK, I'll let Kathy know that you're having the same problem as Marty Ojaste.

I was wondering if this has issue has to do with the particular version of the .net Framework,  I have V2 install.

Unlikely.  We don't use .NET in Photo Mechanic.

Hi Kirk,

Cheers, Fons.

Thanks Fons.

I have changed it to read: "Updating IPTC/XMP..."

Marty,

I am able to reproduce this behavior, just wanted you to know we're looking at it.

This should be fixed as of version 1.026 of PMNavigator.ocx.  Thanks for letting us know.

Kirk, Kathy,

  great it has been fixed. When can we download the fix because it is a major pain at the moment (in my workflow I always have to move photos up one level out of their folder in which the raw processor places this photos).

Cheers, Fons.

Thanks for the update, I was wondering about it.

I thought I was loosing my mind .  I'm happy that I'm not crazy and sad that there was a bug.

Thanks for listening and being patient.
