DPP4 deletes the whole flippin' folder!
I can't believe this is happening only to me! - but I can't find any threads about it.
I download my photos into daily folders. DPP3 doesn't process the raw files from the EOS-M3, so I'm using DPP4 (on OSX/Yosemite) for the M3 photos, and DPP3 for the other cameras.
OK, so I (a) mark a proportion of pics from a day's shooting to Reject, (b) Select them (with Cmd-Ctrl-X on the Mac), and (c) delete them with Cmd-⌫ (or Move To Trash from the menu, which indicates the same shortcut).
What happens next is unpredictable!
If there's just a few Rejects, off they go to the trash. All good!
If there are many Rejects, however, a whole different ballgame: my display jumps to a different screen/space, and (if I'm lucky) back again, when DPP has got lost behind any Finder windows, etc. Much more alarmingly, I find that the *whole folder* has disappeared into the trash!
I hoped the latest version, 4.5.10.0, might be better, but if anything it's MORE likely to bin the folder! Infuriating: before emptying the trash, I have to be sure to check there are no precious folders of photos languishing in there, begging to tbe rescued!
Could this be because the folder itself is Selected in the sidebar (as it has to be to open) - and the prog is deleting the selected FOLDER, not the selected photos? Or am I missing summat??
Any advice gratefully received!
