Using Digital Photo Pro for Mac with Photos on an External Drive

[olyduck]

About a year ago, I installed DPP onto my Mac.  The program opened just fine and the file menu could "see" my Mac's my external drive where my Photos Library was located, but was UNABLE to display thumbnails or allow me to open an image.  At the time, a Canon rep told me that DPP was not designed to work with a Photos Library on an external drive.  I found this hard to believe, given how many folks keep their photos on external drives.

Has anything changed in this regard with newer versions of DPP?

Thanks,

David

I am able to change those settings in the settings menus. If you cannot and need different settings and depending upon which mac hardware you have, another way to get access to those settings sometimes is to delete the app, download the app again, and install the app again. I suggest trying the settings menu first and see if that gets you what you want. It may be necessary to type in a password to change the settings.

has enabled on my computer "Desktop Folder", "Documents Folder", "Downloads Folder", "Network Volumes", and "Removable Volumes". I do not have full disk access enabled for DPP.
