Beta testers did not miss this problem. According to the posts above, the problem developed in PL 7.6 build 53, and it did not exist in PL 7.5. Perhaps the Beta testing procedure is flawed and that is why DX0 have changed it, but it is possible that in fixing something programmers introduced a different bug.
This apparently is in the Mac version and not the Windows version.
I have the same problem here and have submitted a support request. DxO needs to pull this download for Mac users ASAP and provide a link to the 7.5 download for those affected.
The error seems to be recorded System Log, and looks to probably be macOS specific. It would be trivial to debug - just running PL7 in a mac debugger should catch the error.
What is beyond astonishing is that the software was released in this state. The most cursory developer testing should have caught the issue with ease, let alone any formal release/test procedure. Words fail me.
FWIW, the problem is in the LocalCorrections palette and is caused by removing a non-existent NSObject key-value-observer, triggering an unhandled exception. Disabling the offending exceptions allows 7.6 to run normally with local edits. Unfortunately, this is not a practical workaround as it needs a patched executable which is only possible with a developer system and a lot of risk.
Hopefully DxO will release a fix promptly, as it does not look difficult.
This is very macOS specific, so I doubt that Windows builds are affected.
Testing with DPL 7.6.0.53 (updated copy of 7.5.1) on macOS 14.4.1 on 2019 5K iMac (Radeon Pro 580X 8 GB)
Activate the LA tool panel
Expand the LA tool panel
Click to add a control point
Add the control point
Change HSL
Increase sharpness
Duplicate mask
Invert mask
Resize control point
Apply Bokeh
Resize control point, change chroma/luma selection sliders
Close LA
Everything worked as expected. Note that I had resized DPL’s window and worked with the “Advanced Workspace”.
I then selected the next image and as soon as I clicked on a LA option (e.g.control line), the preview was gone with zoom level displaying 0% and preview not reacting to any input, be it by buttons or numerical entry…but let’s be more specific:
buttons “fit” and “1:1” did nothing, the zoom level still displayed 0%
entering “100” in the zoom level numerical field set the level to “100%”, still the previews are gone.
I remember having seen an issue with zoom levels in earlier versions of DPL, but cannot say, which version it was.
Update:
Restarting DPL 7.6 brings back the preview and ability to LA ONE image.
Switching to Photo Library view was inhibited too.
All things considered, I propose that DxO pull the update to 7.6 and set up an “update” to 7.5 instead - if that is possible at all.
Update:
Falling back to DPL 7.5.1 brought up another issue:: Closing LA and everything else was inhibited, complete freeze of the app! I was able to reproduce the issue! After deleting the database and cache files, DPL seems “back to normal”. @Cecile-C I’ll PM the diagnostics or would you prefer to have them on the upload.dxo.com too?
@platypus Thanks for bringing your issues to our attention. We are aware of a bug with local tools on Mac. An update to fix it will be release ASAP. Can you please wait for it before contacting the support?
