Exactly what Leica recommends: 2.6.5.0

I have an M10, not M10 P

This is interesting, because I don't see a way to get my M10-P talking directly to macOS Mojave.  Please can you explain how you've got this working.  How are you configuring your M10, and  what are you doing on the Mac?  For example, does it pop up in the Finder as an external drive, etc?

Download the app, click on app to mount it and install, go to applications, grab and drag icon to taskbar.

Now the important bit, for those using the latest firmware you need to start the wifi on your camera then go to system preferences - network and in the drop down select your camera's network, once you're connected start sync software, review your images , choose those you want and download them.

 

If like me your using the older software version : start the wifi on your camera, once connected start the sync software and away you go.

[M11 for me]

Hm, that is the short version of the user manual that the engineer understands but nobody else.

Thanks for this - it works!  Transfered 46 DNGs in just over 5 minutes, which I find perfectly acceptable.  However, there was a problem.  Not having checked the file name of the last image shot, I had no way of knowing  when it would end - no progress bar.  So, I clicked on the info button to see if that gave any clue.  This could be a coincidence, because it just so happens the last file had just come over.  The camera crashed and the wifi connect was lost.  The M10-P would respond to any of the buttons, the screen was a dark black (but not off) and I could switch off the power.  My heart stopped beating.  Removing the battery was the only option, which fortunately brought it back to life (and me).

Before all this, there was another problem probably unique to me.  My iMac is connect by cable ethernet which happens to be on the same sub-net the camera wants to use.  I guess there was a network conflict which prevented the connection being made.  Unplugging the cable solved that one.

I'm grateful for this software and I'll be using it as I don't normally have more than about 100 images on the card.  For me, it seems better than having to remove the card.
