Copy Photos doesn't move all the photos

[Fitz A]

There are occasions where I want to move and delete the original jpegs, but I have to use the command a second time to finish the job.

For example, I have a folder on my desktop with 10 to 300 jpegs (30k to 2MB). I want to move these photos to a mounted disk image and delete them from the folder. I open the folder as a contact sheet. I select all the photos. I press Command + Y for Copy Photos and select Move Photos (delete originals) in the Copy Options dialog. After clicking the  Copy button, about a third of the time, I will still have some pictures left over. So I have to use the command again. This becomes quite tiresome when you're trying to fill up a DVD  sized disk image.

I have my contact sheets sorted by Filename, and I thought this was happening after reordering some pictures around, causing the sorting to change to Arrangement. But as far as I can tell, it does this either way.

I'm hoping you all will be able to reproduce this .

I'm on a MacBook Pro 2.4 with 4GB ram running  Mac OS X 10.4.11 and Photo Mechaninc 4.5.3.1

I can't imagine why what you are seeing is happening.  Seeing that no-one replied, I guess no-one is seeing the same behaviour.  Are you perhaps not selecting all the files when you use the command?

I am working directly with Fitz to solve/diagnose the problem.

Kirk,

I can confirm this. I have exactly the same problem on Windows version of PM. Can you help me with this too?

Please describe your issue in detail.  Fitz's problem turned out to be user error.
