Canon - Digital Photo Professional

Canon's 'Digital Photo Professional' has stopped working since loading Leopard, has any one else had the same problem.
Apart from that, it works a treat, Time Machine is awesome, I love the stacks which cleans the dock up a treat.
I've created a stack called Photography and loaded all my programs in the order of my digital workflow, choosing 'Sort by date added' puts them in the order I want them for easy access.

worth every penny.

MacBook Pro 17", Mac OS X (10.4.10), iLife 08 & iWork 08

Hi,
I have Canon DPP on my Macbook Pro and "works" after installing Leopard. There is a delay in the loading and it's behavior appears to be a bit quirky. Like popping back to the root directory when I close a photo. I would hope that Canon addresses this when they update their software next month.

My updated DPP also didn't work with Leopard. Went back to DPP V 1.5 w/o any updates and it works like before. Guess the updates are the cause. Photoshop 7 went south also so I moved to CS3. Looking at Adobe Light Room.

Same here, DPP doesn't show thumbs and I cannot edit the photos. I suppose that we have to wait for an update.

I had the same problem with Canon's DPP 3.2 only showing blank thumbnails in Leopard 10.5.1. The solution was to delete the DPP related preference files. Everything seems to be back to normal now. BTW, DPP conversions are about 2x faster on the MB 2.2 than on the G5 2.3DP... maybe time to think about a Mac Pro....

Hi George,

The preferences file is located in your user (represented by ~) folder:
~/Library/Preferences/com.canon.Digital Photo Professional.plist

There is also a preferences file for DPP's batch processor:
com.canon.Digital Photo Professional Batch.plist

It wouldn't hurt to delete both, but it will mean you will have to reconfigure your settings in DPP once you get it running again.

Hope this helps.

Ron,

Thank you very much for very fast response. I deleted app settings, but still have problem with startup - it takes forever. It looks like DPP interrogates all mounted drives in search for something ... And having network mounts does not help.

One more time, thank you for your help,

George

Similar problem here in a new and powerful MacPro 3.0GHZ 8 core and latest Leopard. DPP opens very very slow (some minutes to open) and it's difficult to navigate through the folders. When one folder is finally opened it seems to work more or less fine. But is terrible slow to open. We photographers need a DPP update!
