jumping to previous pictures and not saving edits

[Andy Cross]

I'm having two regular issues, I'll spend time editing a picture and when i click done, i return to the main screen and the edits just havent saved - the whole time wasted! This just happened infront of a client, causing me to join this forum - I spent 10 mintutes editing a picture, then adjusted crop slightly, clciked Done and returned to the gallery, and nothing. All edits not saved. Restarted the application and still nothing. i have 400 imagtes to edit tonight!

I have been having a regular issue where i am editing an image and suddently the screen will jump to a previous image i was editing, like im already in the edit window of an image, and just out of nowhere the screen will reset and im in the edit window of a previous picture. If I restart the programme I can get back to my image.

At first this was a small inconvenice, now i am trying to complete a project and this tool is a becoming hinderence - I'm areally a big fan of what this team are doing but I dont think i can rely on this softare anymore! Im on an M1 Mac, storing my raw files on an external drive.

Am i just doing something wrong? I am so frustrated

If you go to where the raw's are stored is photomator saving the sidecar file there? The only other thing I can think of is that photomator doesn't have permissions to write to the external drive? Thus it can't save anything?

Maybe try editing one picture saved to your desktop and see if it saves OK there?

I think this happens if you do not click the Done button when you are done and just move to another photo with the Back button. Changes are saved when you click done. It is useful since closing the photo without doing Done is a way to cancel the edits. However the drawback is that if you forget to click Done, you loose your work without warning. A warning could be added as a solution. Then some would complain that this add un unnecessary extra step.

Hi, I've done this many times, and this time I'm sure it wasnt the case - I had made all my edits, and then moved to crop, and only completing the crop everything reverted. Thanks tho

Hi Andy, from the logs, it looks like you're trying to edit images/folders stored in a temporary folder. Is this, by any chance, an image you've dragged and dropped from a browser/the Mail app/somewhere similar? If not, how did you import it into Photomator? We should, in theory, import these images to the Pictures catalog because items in temporary folders are removed when you restart your Mac and we have various safeguards that prevent saving changes to temporary locations.

Hi Andrius, thanks for replying. I am using folders on an external drive - sorting with Fast Raw Viewer and the moving to a subfolder i created. and then opening Photomator and chosing the files option to access this folder and edit.

How is a folder defined as temporary? i am just chosing from the Finder > Fike > New Folder..

Interesting, if possible, would you be able to share a screen recording of your workflow? Feel free to upload it here and then send the link directly to me at andriusg@pixelmator.com – there's probably something that I'm not quite getting and I'd love to take a closer look.

Thanks in advance!
