->> Hi everybody.
Someone know a way to assign - change some keyboard key to specific menu function as Rescan Contact Sheet ?
With my Mac G4 12", for example, to rescan a folder I am obliged to press "Command+Arrow Key+7" to see the new images added into a folder.
Under my umbrella, during the rain, with only one hand and the other still on my camera.......that's a little difficult !
I'd like to assign a only key to do it.
I know that there is a special setting inside photomechanic to automatize this rescan.
However it is not very fast......
Any ideas how to re-mapping th keyborad key ???
THANKS,
Fabio. |

->> If you are using OS X you can basically remap any keyboard shortcut.
Using the Keyboard & Mouse preference pane.
For more info See this link:

(The menu name in PM is Rescan).
I think that you also should be able to use the remap command shortcut key for that is F5. |

| ->> What version are you using? The shortcut for "Rescan" on my copy of 4.6.1 is "Command /" which are right by each other. |

->> THANKS Daniele, thanks Kevin.
Good suggestions.
With my G4 12 " and Mac os 10.4.8 I can use until Photomechanic version 4.5.4.
To use the 4.6.1 I have to upgrade to 10.4.11.
I already tried to upgrade to this last mac Os X version but the result is a lot of of error of the system with this 12 " alluminium.
So I re down grade to the prior version 10.4.8
I read into the web of several errors using this 10.4.11 version with several older powerbook.
I check the Preference Panel to Mouse and Keybord ( as your suggestions ) and I FOUND how to do it !!!!
THANKS again.

| ->> Glad you got it working. As a side note I'm running 10.4.11 with no problems on my 12" G4 PowerBook so it is possible. However as you mentioned maybe not worth the trouble. |
