Photo Mechanic™ Version 4.6.6 History

Below is a list of changes made to Photo Mechanic for Version 4.6.6, released October 14, 2010.

This version is available as a free update for registrations good through February 2009.

  • Optimized scanning of large contact sheets, especially if they contained a number of TIFF files.
  • Optimized disk input on all image files, but especially on TIFF files.
  • Compressed (LZW or ZIP) planar TIFF files are now supported. Uncompressed planar TIFF files now load much faster.
  • Added the new PhotoDeck uploader template, provided by photodeck.com.
  • Fixed an issue in the PMSlideShow exporter template where accented characters would not work correctly.
  • Fixed a bug where applying an IPTC Stationery Pad with variables and code replacement would not work with Supplemental Category fields.
  • Fixed a problem with exporting and importing Structured Keywords data.
  • Switching between date/time formats in the IPTC dialogs now remembers user-modified date/time and restores it.
  • Reverted to older method of reading the "is tagged" preference (EOF takes precedence over IPTC/XMP) because tagging edits in earlier versions (e.g. 4.5.4) would not be visible in 4.6.5.
  • Save As no longer allows an empty renaming string.
  • Fixed an issue where canceling "Save Photos" would leave the dialog hidden but keep the event loop running, thus rendering the application unresponsive.
  • (Mac) Added support for sending photos via email for Microsoft Outlook 2011.
  • (Mac) Fixed a problem with copying/moving files to a volume that no longer exists.
  • (Mac) Fixed an issue where working with server volumes that did not support the Finder Locked attribute would cause virtually all functions of Photo Mechanic to fail.
  • (Mac) Fixed an issue where Searching for a Mac File Type would not work.
  • (Mac) Fixed issues Searching for exact text matches.
  • (Mac) Fixed an issue with Quick Search that allowed cache images to show as results.
  • (Win) Fixed an issue where entering accented characters in Color Class labels in the General tab of the Preferences dialog would not work correctly.
