slide show
« on: November 27, 2009, 03:34:36 PM »
I can't get the slideshow to work on Photo Mechanic. I select the desired files, hit Ctrl - L - return, but it will only show the first file. What am I doing wrong?

What happens if you select some other files (other than the first file)?  Does it progress through the images then?

I have the same issue as well.  If I select 3 images, it still will not work.  But on a smaller mac mini, works fine.  my g5 pre intel and power mac quad do not run slideshow.

What kind of image files are they?

Check to see if you have the Caps Lock on.

I had the same problem a while ago and realised I had turned that on as I did a Cmd A to select all the images. Just managed to recreate the problem so still seems to happen with the latest versions. Not sure if it happens wih any other button.

Caps Lock does indeed pause the slide show.  It is the only key that does this.
