As per the subject…
I tried to change PL6.3 database folder: as soon as you open the window for browsing in search of a new location, the program hangs forever - and then it crashes if you try to close the open windows.
Problem solved: it was caused by Avast.
How in 2023 such issues are still caused by antivirus software is beyond my comprehension…
… but, it seems that also AVG causes the same problem.
What’s going on? Maybe the problem is not Avast or AVG, but Photolab!
With regard to Avast, this is nothing new. As a retired IT professional I have helped out my friends with PC issues for years. One of the things that I have found over the years is that Avast too often doesn’t play well with commercial software. The first thing I ask when there is a software installation issue or a software conflict is whether they are using Avast. Too often the answer has been “yes”.
