I am using MAC OS X 10.4.7 and Photo Mechanic 4.4.3.2, but I am only experiencing the problems with .CRW files (no problems with my .CR2 files)
I have attached a screen shot that shows how sometimes (not always for some reason) Photo Mechanic does not correctly select the last 4 digits when using the {frame4} variable to rename a file. As shown in the attached image, the rename is setup so that the new file name should have the frame#5982, but instead it is choosing some other number plus the last 3 digits.
I do not encounter this problem with .CR2 files.
Also, as far as the .CRW files are concerned, I am having difficulty getting Photo Mechanic to successfully obtain the {user} or {owner} information from the EXIF, even though I have verified that when I have selected the variable with the Set Info Text... and I have verified that the camera has recorded that data (used CANON EOS Viewer Utility to verify camera data owner info). However, on .CR2 files the owner/user data from the camera (EXIF) seems to work fine and shows up properly in Photo Mechanic.
Overall, I think Photo Mechanic is a superb application.
And I would really appreciate your help on this.
Thanks,
DC
