Moving files leaving 0 byte files behind
« on: September 09, 2010, 05:07:34 PM »
When I drag & drop files from one folder to another using the Favourites side bar I sometimes have some of the files left behind as 0 byte files. All the files do transfer to the new folder, but some of the files are left in the old directory as 0 byte files with no data. I am using Photo Mechanic v4.6.5 on Windows Vista x64.

Image files?  XMP sidecar files?  What kind of files are they?

It has occurred moving TIFF files, JPEG files, and Canon CR2 raw files.

Please try the 4.6.6 beta version:

I think it should fix this problem.

Thanks for following up and trying the beta.  We find that the more people who will try the betas and put it through its paces the better final release we all get to use.
