|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Help!! Photo Mechanic ate my pictures. Gavin Werbeloff, Photographer, Student/Intern La Jolla | CA | USA | Posted: 2:19 PM on 12.31.04 ->> I was attempting to drag and drop my selects from the Holliday Bowl into a separate folder last night. All of a sudden a message came up, "Sorry the operartion cannot be completed." Poof, all my selects were gone. They were not in the original folder and they were not in the new folder, they dissapeared. Anyone else have this happen? -Gavin  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Photo Mechanic's Kirk Baker regularly monitors and responds. http://www.robgalbraith.com/ubbthreads/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=UBB28 I've also gotten pretty quick response from Bob Russell at Camera Bits.

I think I just ended up ingesting it again. Try doing a search if you named them. Are you using a mac? If so look inside of your Home folder. You can also post a message in this furom: http://www.robgalbraith.com/ubbthreads/postlist.php?Cat=&Board=UBB28 Kirk Baker , a developer of PM, is quick to answer questions. Hope this helps  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh? (0) | Off Topic (0) | Inappropriate (0) |   Definitions Kevin M. Cox, Photographer, Assistant Round Rock (Austin) | TX | US | Posted: 7:52 PM on 12.31.04 ->> I know this doesn't help your current situation, but: I didn't even know you could "drag and drop" photos within Photo Mechanic. If I ever want to move them (from within the program, not using the OS) I highlight them and use "Command/Control Y" and then check the box for Move Photos. I've never had any problems with missing photos in several years of doing it this way. Just an idea for the future...  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I've abandoned dragging photos from within image browsers years ago because of problems with photos disappearing. Using the Command Y (Copy Photos) in Photo Mechanic is a more reliable way of moving your edits safely. You can also select your edits and use the Command S (Save Photos) option too. I have never had one problem using method to date Tree http://michaeltreola.com  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

If you dragged from a window in PM to a folder in the Finder, then the Finder did the move, and you encountered what I think was said to be a bug in the Finder. You're better off to do the drag entirely within PM, or use the Copy Files command under PM's File menu.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

"I have been following the thread about PM eating files on drag and drop. I finally found the bug in the interaction with the Finder and have fixed it in version 4.3 (currently in beta) but the guys on the thread are right, using the Copy command (Cmd-Y or Ctrl-Y on Windows) is the best way to copy (or move) files since drag and drop is not involved. It would be great if you could mention what I have said to you on the message board since I don't have posting privileges. Have a Happy New Year, -Kirk Kirk A. Baker Senior Software Engineer Camera Bits, Inc." I gotta say, Kirk and Camera Bits rock!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
