Dragging folders into untitled tab issue

[Paul Burrows UK]

Hi Kirk.
I think I've found a bug on iMac OSX 10.8.2 PM V5 build 13444. PM doesn't seem to be opening folders dragged from the desktop into an untitled tab. If you drag a folder into a tab with pictures in it the dragged folder will be opened. I'm sure this is a new bug on the latest version.

Paul,

I think I've found a bug on iMac OSX 10.8.2 PM V5 build 13444. PM doesn't seem to be opening folders dragged from the desktop into an untitled tab. If you drag a folder into a tab with pictures in it the dragged folder will be opened. I'm sure this is a new bug on the latest version.

Try dragging the folder onto the application icon in the dock.  I'll look into this issue.

I've noticed the exact same problem just now with Photo Mechanic Version 5.0, build 13444 (c5a5ad3) on OSX 10.7.4

Hope it gets looked into soon as I'm in and out of dozens of folders every day. Dragging to the application icon does work - but seems much more ineligant in comparison.

In the mean time I'm assuming I can temporarily downgrade without any problems.

Yes that does work but not as quick and easy. I can't downgrade as I've trashed the installer!

You both could downgrade to go back to build 13217, but you would now have all of the following issues revert to not being fixed:

I have this same issue on Mac OSX 10.6.8: dragging a folder no longer loads the thumbs in a PM window. Worked in the previous version just fine. Dragging the folder to the PM app icon does work though.

Thanks for the post. Dragging to icon works fine for now. But would love a fix. Thanks.

Just downloaded and installed the latest update and wanted to say "Thanks" for fixing the Drag'n'drop funtionality
