Photo Mechanic 4.4.3 beta 2 comments
3sight:
Just tried out the Beta, I have to say I love it. I tested out the upload to Photo Shelter, worked very nicely. Two things though. The rotate feature did not work, the photo was shot vertial (Canon Mark II), PM showed it as vertical, I uploaded to Photo Shelter, the image in my gallery was horizontal, easy enough to fix, but would be nice if I didn't have to go through this step. Second, I'm not sure if it where possible, but it would be nice to be able to add a new Archive folder directly from PM instead of only being able to choose from a current folder.
Thanks, great work, Bryan

However "{folder}" does not appear in the Disc Name preview line, so I guess it is recognising it as a variable, just not evaluating it properly. Is this a bug or a feature?

About the only variable that is going to work is the {seqn} variable. Disc names are fairly limited, and the {folder} variable in particular has limited usability because you could easily (and I often do) have multiple folders in a single contact sheet and then which folder name should {folder} evaluate to?

I would say that the title of the current contact sheet would be best. As you say, many people will have multiple folders open in one contact sheet so I see entirely how the folder variable would be of limited use in those circumstances. However, if you have only one folder open then the contact sheet's window title will tally exactly with the folder you are viewing so would be useful in the disc title too. Maybe a new variable that uses the window title could be used?
Does that make sense?
Sam.

1) in file browser pane double click on a folder
in file browser pane, right click and select new folder inside folder we just double clicked
name new folder
select all images in current contact sheet (cmd-a)
move all selected images (121 D2X NEF's) into new folder (this new folder is inside the folder
containing the selected image)
this result in an endless spinning ball

This has now been fixed. I added a progress dialog for the drag and drop copy/move, and I added code to move files when possible which is way faster than copying and then deleting files after the copy completes.
The fix will appear in the final 4.4.3 version.
Thanks for the info,
-Kirk

We'll look into this and see what we can do.

You can type right into the Archive combo box and if the Archive does not yet exist, it will be created.
HTH,

We looked at our code and found nothing wrong with it. The PhotoShelter people are working on a fix on their end. We were waiting on a fix for this before we released 4.4.3, but when we determined it wasn't a bug in PM we went ahead with the release.
