Idle curiosity #2: why reformat the camera SD card after each import?

Many users are unhappy that their camera SD cards cause Photos or Image Capture to start whenever they insert or connect the card to their computers. I understand that this is caused by the fact that a reformatted SIM card is treated as a new 'device' and the previous settings does not launch applications is therefore null and avenue.

My questions.

Why users insist on reformat cards, rather than simply erase already imported files?

It's just an old habit that is no longer necessary?

FWIW, none of my cameras never asked me to reformat their storage cards. So, what gives?

SIM cards cannot be formatted

  • loading images from the PC to the camera SD card

    I have two SD cards camera separated containing all my photos. I want to download everything on my PC and then combine them on ONE SD card for my digital photo frame. is this possible? You can choose to send to the SD card but when I tried it was not displayed on the camera only when put in the PC. Help!

    Yes, you can combine all the photos on a single card so
    capacity of memory card is big enough.

    Looks like you your description sent the files to
    your camera via a USB cable? And it doesn't
    does not recognize the photos? Sometimes this is the case
    If photos have been published in some way then on the PC.

    The question is... does recognize your digital photo frame

  • Download the video from the camera sd card

    HP Pavilion dv7 - I download pictures and movies of my camera via SD card.

    The photos and movies are imported, but movies are not able to be consulted. All I get is a blue straight line. When I try to close the import program, it does not allow me to. He warns me that the program waits for a response from me, but I don't have to answer all the options. All I get is full import. I tried enabling popups, disabled my firewall, all with no success. I wiped my SD card and created a new short film, but the same results. I can't import my pictures or any where. Any suggestions?

    You may need to check in the menu of the camera to see if there may be a setting that allows you to record video clips in a different format. The files that you have transferred to your PC must be in format of Quicktime MPEG-4, if Quicktime is required to view.  Another viewer of spare with codecs for many types of video file, that use a lot of people, including myself is VideoLAN player.

    There's nothing wrong with download and install Quicktime from Apple. It's a secure download.

    In Windows Explorer, you must change the details view. Once this is done, you should have no problem see file extensions.

  • The camera page blank after the first use

    Hi all

    I'm having a problem with getting a QR scanner works properly. The weird part is that, after that I scan once, the viewfinder of the camera no longer appears on the screen.

    Here is the flow of the page that I currently have:

    When the user opens the app first...

    1 splash screen

    2 splash screen opens automatically the screen of landing page when the user is presented with buttons.

    3. the user selects that they would use the QR scanner

    4 QR scanner page opens, the camera turns on and appears on the screen of BB.

    5 QR code is scanned, decoded, and a results page. (QR page is popped immediately pushes forward the results page)

    6. the user presses return and returns to the landing page

    7. the user selects the QR button again

    8. the user will see a blank screen, but the camera lights.

    I'll have to clean up the code before I post. I use the BarcodeScanDemo example in the JDK BB

    I think I've figured this out.

    I expect that the QRPage would have pushed first when I ran this code:

    UiApplication.getUiApplication () .pushScreen (new QRPage());

    But really what was going on, it was that inside the QRPage I also called pushScreen method. These screens have been rushed first and when finally returned to new QRPage() call, it was pushed on top of all the other screens.

  • Virtually all of the files are missing after you import the catalog.

    I'm NOT sure that has nothing to do with lightroom, except that yesterday my files were all there, now, they are absent.  It could be a hard disk failure.  Its just strange that it affected only the files that I tried to interfere in my lightroom catalog today.

    Well as out of town, I pulled a few thousand photos and them ingested on a daily basis in a new lightroom catalog that I created on my laptop.  Files imported into a USB external drive.  The laptop is win 10.  It is on the latest version of lightroom, CC.  Yesterday, everything was going well with the catalog, disk, and files.  All were there.  The catalogue and the photos were on the same drive.  The laptop was listed as the letter 'g ':

    Once I went back to the office today, I wanted to import pictures to my largest catalog on my desktop.  I have used this external hard drive for all my new photos in 2016.  On this PC, Win 10, the letter of the external drive is also "X:".  I started lightroom in my big catalogue very well.  I chose to import from a different catalog, accessed my X Catalogue outside in the car and started importing without a copy of the files.  This should leave the files in the same location.  It took a little more time I expected to import this catalog.  When I went to the structure of folders inside lightroom, it seemed that all the files have been imported correctly.  But there was a "?" from the folder.  I assumed that I just needed to do a "find" on the X drive as I thought that my lightroom catalog could have been pointing to the G drive.  Locate, but cannot find the files.  I've used windows explore to browse my files and the folders and files were all missing, with the exception of a folder where I shot some photos with a camera, about 100 photos in all.  Thousands of photos from other cameras were all absent.

    So next time, I ran a scan disk and windows came with a message of repair.  The repair said that it worked successfully.  But I looked in the Explorer, the files were still missing.  I ran a scan disk again and no error found.

    I looked in the trash on the desktop and there is no files on this disc.  If the missing files are still missing.  I had not saved the files yet since they were really vacation photos and have no critical and since I was going to save them after that I spent in review on the workstation.  Some are still on the cards and could be retrieved.  But I formatted my main map at least a couple of times and I'm afraid that most would have been crushed and is more viable, even using the card recovery software.

    Before you begin importing today, I don't check the disk to make sure that all my files were there.  There is no error in windows at startup and I don't mind just to check in Explorer or open the 'new' catalog first.

    1. Could Lightroom have somehow deleted files and can they be retrieved?
    2. Assuming that it was a Windows / hard drive error, can anyone recommend a program attempt to recover files lost like that?  Given that the entire folders, sound also lack if the index of the obtained partially erased disc.  But maybe the files are still there.  Then there is a program to search for them?

    Note that the other files on this drive all seem to be good.  The only missing are import of today.

    It is drive X:, but the files are not there.
    portable version is 2015.6

    Somehow, the windows removed them.  I use EaseUS data recovery to retrieve them.  He had no problem finding the files.  So I guess we can mark this resolved.
