Digital Camera Utility 5.8.6 update released

Ricoh, who has been fairly diligent with DCU updates recently, has added another one, v5.8.6, to its international support page. Follow this link for downloading the Win and Mac versions according to your needs:

Software Downloads : Support & Service | RICOH IMAGING

The update seems to fix three bugs affecting the rendering and updating of image previews in different editing scenarios.

Have downloaded and installed the 64-bit Windows version and not run into any issues under Windows 10.

Installed. Thanks. Seems to work.

Mac users beware. This update requires OS X 10.12 Sierra or later. If you are using OS X 10.11 El Capitan or earlier, stick with Version 5.8.3, which is available on the site if you need it. If you don't know how to check your OS version, click on the apple in the top left hand corner of the screen and select "About This Mac".

Why do you say that?

Not a https site. Gets flagged as NOT SECURE when you access.

Objectively true, and arguably an oversight on their part. Subjectively, however, I've never felt unsafe on their site and remain grateful for the services they provide. Their German site is marked safe by Microsoft Edge, BTW.

In the old days, not every site was HTTPS.

Ricoh probably thought that since no sensitive data was being transferred on that part of their site, a secure certificate wasn't worth bothering about since the data flow didn't need encryption. They do know how to do HTTPS if need be (eg PENTAX RICOH Imaging Store), of course.

HTTPS nowadays as a identity verification tool is pretty worthless too, since most website certificates are issued without any proof of identity requirement.

As a basic check, examine the URL and the rest of the site to see if the address seems legit.

Downloaded the update to Windows 10, all was looking ok until I tried opening a folder containing "dng" files 235mb total and DCU crashes every time, no error code just returns to desktop.

Anyone else?

Not here [so far]... Pretty stable with some of the DNG's I just threw at it.

v5.8.6 even seems a bit faster to work with than previous iterations, which is a pleasant surprise.
