After updating to the latest version of imatch, I can no longer get a postal code together with citymask.
I use [city] [pc] I also use Region [state], but on til now with no luck.
I also have moved Imatch to a new computer using 'PackandGo', this worked fine, except some minor issues 
I have api for Google and Bing and is also register in Geonames  
So..is it because of the version or the move to a computer ?
thank you in advance

You upgraded from which version? 2023, 2021, even older?

Do you mean the masks you can use to format the city, state and location under Edit > Preferences > Geo & Maps?
Where did you look for the city name? Location Shown? Location Created?

Use the Metadata Panel layout "6. IPTC Location", not some out-of-date city names, composite names or many of the other "city" tags floating around in various metadata standards.

If you have upgraded from the several year out-of-date 2021 version, make sure you read the IMatch 2023 what's new and all release notes. A lot has changed in the past years in the way location data is handled in metadata and IMatch. See See https://www.photools.com/community/index.php/topic,13248.0.html for a start.

I'm not aware of any change in how IMatch processes the mask during reverse geocoding.
Please provide an example (coordinate pair), tell us which service you have used for your test, what the results in the "6. IPTC Location" Metadata layout are etc.

I've made some quick checks and the masks are applied (e.g. the default [pc][city]), to either shown or created location as desired.

Which minor issues?
