I love the new remote control-based photo rating feature in 7MC but it's not working for me.

Essentially what happens is that I can rate a whole bunch of photos in 7MC but if I exit and then re-enter 7MC all the ratings are lost. Very frustrating after I'd spent a couple of hours rating 1000+ pics!

7MC also isn't picking up the ratings of pics properly either - ie a photo rated 5* in Windows Explorer doesn't appear in the 5* category in 7MC.

I've tried removing the My Pictures folder from the 7MC library and then re-adding it and this momentarily showed all the rated pictures correctly. Unfortunately it reverted to the standard limited selection of 5* rated pics when I next opened 7MC.

The photos are stored on an external e-sata drive.

I'm imagining a cache is corrupted somewhere or there's a bug. A friend doesn't report the same behaviour on his computer.

 Anyone have any ideas what I should try next?

 Thanks

Dom

I'm wondering if anyone can shed any light on what's going wrong?
