1/23/2024 0 Comments Olympus viewer 3 reviews![]() ![]() Stacking up batch jobs means it will churn away for a long time without intervention and I can still use the computer for other things while Viewer does its thing in the background. Viewer never used to really like me stacking up many batch jobs one after the other, but with the latest version it doesn’t seem to mind. Though most of the last few times this has happened all I did was relaunch Viewer and treat it gently! All I can do is restart the Mac, re-install software, make sure I have the latest everything, etc, etc. Viewer isn’t the most reliable piece of (Mac) software I’ve used, it does crash from time to time for no apparent reason. I hardly ever create a folder in Viewer itself. What I tend to do is setup the folder structure in the Mac Finder (Windows Explorer for you) before opening Viewer. There wouldn’t be enough hours in the day to do each one individually. Great for lots and lots of Raw images that eventually get stitched into a full 360 HDR image. I use Viewer 3 a lot on a Mac to batch process Raw files into Tiff. I have just created a folder on my desktop (named the folder "test") using OV3 and it worked just fine. I use OV3 (v 2.4.1) on a laptop running Windows 10 Pro 64 bit (build 1803). Unfortunately the Olympus RAWs are not visible in ZoomBrowser. With my Canon kit I use ZoomBrowser, which is no longer supported by Canon, but it does exactly what I need. So all I'm wanting OV3 to do is to display the RAW images, and allow me to move them to the appropriate folder. I can then import a folder with all my Great Egret (say) images into Lightroom, to find and then process the best handful of Egret images. ![]() I do a lot of wildlife photography, and at the end of a trip, I need to sort all the images into separate folders, one for each species. Perhaps I'd better explain what I'm doing more fully. Your work-around is what I've been doing, but it's not exactly convenient. I doubt the disk is timing out as it's being accessed all the time. No, nothing unusual in file names, and run on a standard desktop PC with local disk. It may not be convenient but it beats having your application crash on you. Is this on a regular local harddisk? (not external or network)Ĭould the drive be in some energy savings mode?Īnything else that might cause an exception or timeout that OV3 may not be handling correctly?Īs a work-around, you could try creating the folders using Explorer. Any ideas?Īre you using any special characters in the folder names, like '!', '+' or '|' ?ĭoes the name of the parent folder have any such characters? Opens with two side by side windows and can copy stuff from one drive to another easily.īasically it is a matter of understanding and controlling where your photos are in folders on the computer and on backup drives.Whenever I try to create a new folder, the programme crashes. When doing masses of copies of folders and drives I often use FreeCommander as it makes life less messy than using Windows File Explorer. The backup program operates automatically every 30 minutes to keep the backup warm and safe, I use the paid SE version of Syncback but there is a free version that works well. FastStone nags for donations and I did donate many years ago as it is so useful. Any jepgs or raw files worked on then get put back into same folders or other folders within the "Pictures" area. To get the year/month/day dated folders working I use the free FastStone Viewer and then start Olympus Viewer 3 or other software and point it to the folder structure that I created. Then use an automatic backup program to copy the whole "Pictures" folder to the backup drive - it only copies the changes or additions, not the whole lot all over again of course. In my case I make sure that all photos are in year/month/day dated folders within a "Cameras" folder within the default Windows folder of "Pictures". Windows key plus E gives the File Explorer, and then need to find where the heck the photos were loaded to off the card. The easiest way is to use Windows File Explorer (you said "pc" so I assume Windows) and copy the whole folder of photos across to the backup drive. I have transferred them to my computer but I can't seem to copy them to external hard drive/USB etc in order to back them up. ![]()
