PM and Leopard - Spaces problem with dialogs
« on: December 07, 2007, 01:37:12 AM »
Hi, dunno if this is Leopard (Spaces) issue or PM dialogs issue, but when I have some non-modal dialog open in PM, like Save As, IPTC Statinery, et cetera, and switch to another Space in Leo, it switches but immediately snatches back to the Space containing PM dialog.

Somewhat of a nuisance actually, as I have e.g. webpage with caption info in another space and switch back and forth.

Thanks Frantisek

Both dialogs you described are modal dialogs.  I'm not sure why it exhibits that behavior, but I doubt that it is anything Photo Mechanic is doing specifically.  I'd expect that it is more of an issue with modal dialogs in general.

Very few dialogs in Photo Mechanic are modeless dialogs.

I just had to go into System Preferences to check something while the Export dialog was open in Lightroom 1.3.1 and that worked like a charm. Went back and exported fine.

I just can't do the same with an open dialog box in PM 4.5.3 in Mac OS X 10.5.1.

Any clues now?

Best,

Morten

Yes, wait for version 4.5.3.1 which fixes that problem.
