Photo Mechanic version 5.0 Build 15077 (39d4ee2)
Mac OS X 10.9 - Intel-based iMac
Issue: For the past few weeks, possibly since my Mavericks upgrade I've been having the following issue in PM. Whenever I press the Choose button within PM, the application freezes when I start clicking on folders. Here are a few examples:
Photo Mechanic 5 / Preferences / Caching / Choose (button) -> freezes while "browsing" from one folder to another
Photo Mechanic 5 / Preferences / Launching / Default application to edit photos / assign a default application / Choose... -> freezes while "browsing" from one folder to another
File / Ingest / Primary Destination -> Either the application will freeze, but most of the time, the Ingest window will close as soon as the Primary Destination button is pressed. So basically, I press the Primary Destination button, the Finder window will open for 2 seconds and the Ingest window will close. If I get far enough to choose a destination, I'll open a folder and the application will freeze.
This behavior has been happening only in PM. I've tested the "same" steps in other application where pressing a button would open a Finder window (changing the default location of the iTunes library for example) and everything is fine.
So far in PM, I've tried unchecking the "Run Navigation Services dialogs in a separate process" box as well as renaming the com.camerabits file and deleting PhotoMechanic from the application folder an re-installing the application. Please excuse the PC jargon, I'm a PC guy trying to resolve my wife's Mac issues
I did not upload a screenshot since I felt it does not really display any relevant information. The application freezes and shows up as "not responding" in the Force Quit window.
Thanking you in advance for your help.
