Is there a way to look at the photos from the camera on the surface?

I tried to connect my camera to the USB port on the Surface to see what would happen. Open File Manager, so apparently the device recognizes the camera as a disk, but not as a camera.

When I clicked on a single photo, the Photo app opens and displays this photo. Unlike a PC, it seems that it is as he goes. I tried to select several files, but CTRL or SHIFT work, as well as a file can be selected at a time. It's disappointing. So apparently, we can't use the photo app to scroll through photos on a connected device. You can watch one at a time only.

I guess I could copy photos in the player using the file manager, but one at a time would be rather tedious.

Did I miss something or that is indeed how the file manager and Photo applications are supposed to work in this case?

Thank you.

Hi Benzman,

Try to use the devices option in the Photos app to see the pictures on your camera. See the steps below:

  1. Connect your camera to the Surface
  2. Open the Photos app
  3. Some devices

Let us know if that helps.

OK, tried.
The Surface appears a message "this application cannot send to other devices right now."
Note the expression "send to," implying that the app you want to send, not receiving.

What you can do, is to slide down from the top in the Photo app and you will see the menu item to 'Import', with an icon that looks like a camera. Then, you can see a list of drives.  It takes the card memory of the camera, listed as a reader.  Click it and you can get a window with thumbnails of all the pictures in the camera.  You can then select or deselect images.  The following menu offers two options: import or cancel.  So you can not really just to view the images.  Ideal if you want to import the images.
In addition, it offers a name to give the folder where the photos will be placed.  In my case, the name of the folder was a date in the format yyyy-mm-dd, where the chosen date seems to correspond to the date of my older photos.  Apparently, you can change the name of the folder.  but you are apparently not able to browse and select a different location.  So for example, you cannot select the Micro SD card if you have installed one like I have it.  (I read in other posts that the Micro SD card is not usable for the Photo app, unfortunately).

So, yes you can connect a camera and see the images in thumbnails or import, but not just view them full-size.

Because the native memory limit, and I usually manage my photos on my desktop PC, I wasn't really thinking about import photos in any significant number at the Surface.  Good to know it works well.

  • is there a way I could recover my photos from LR to my laptop to LR at the office?

    I have some files didn't back to my hard drive. and my macbook pro must re install and my files/pictures will be gone. is there a way I could recover the photos in my LR my laptop on my desk?

    So if I understand you correct, backup images and images are always in your mobile phone, and you can not access it.

    Also if you think to recover images from laptop on the desk, it will be impossible, as you have the catalogue and also the images to be transferred to the office.

  • Is there a way to dynamically determine the number of parameters to a procedure side Server?

    Hello

    This is a helper method used to call a server-side function that traverses the bindVars parameter to fill the PARAMETERS of the function. Is there a way to dynamically determine the parameters input/output based on the procedure name in the stmt parameter? No member of the CallableStatement class looked promising, but the getParameterMetaData() in the PreparedStatement class method seemed it might be useful lead. However, I have not found any (yet) a detailed description of how to use it.

    protected Object callStoredFunction (int sqlReturnType, String stmt,

    Object [] bindVars) {}

    CallableStatement st = null;

    try {}

    // 1. Create a JDBC CallabledStatement

    St = getDBTransaction () .createCallableStatement)

    ("" start?: = '+stmt+ ";" end; ", 0);

    // 2. Register for the first variable binding for the return value

    st.registerOutParameter (1, sqlReturnType);

    If (bindVars! = null) {}

    // 3. Loop on values for the bind variables passed, if any

    for (int z = 0; z < bindVars.length; z ++) {}

    // 4. Set the value of vars binding provided by the user in the stmt

    st.setObject (z + 2, bindVars [z]);

    }

    }

    // 5. Set the value of vars binding provided by the user in the stmt

    st.executeUpdate ();

    // 6. Returns the value of the first variable binding

    Return st.getObject (1);

    }

    catch (SQLException e) {}

    throw new Aexception.getLocalizedMessage (e);

    }

    {Finally

    If (st! = null) {}

    try {}

    // 7. Close statement

    St.Close ();

    }

    catch (SQLException e) {}

    }

    }

    }

    PreparedStatement.getParameterMetaData () subject is exactly what you need for this task.

    Once you have the ParameterMetaData you can ask how many parameters are present, and how they are. Parameters are numbered from 1 to n, and you can use ParameterMetaData.getParameterMode (1); to get the function of parameter 1. The modes are defined as static values of the ParameterMetaData object. Check out the doc at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/sql/ParameterMetaData.html

  • I created a form with fields default text for a user to update/customize.  Is there a way to style of the text, so I can quickly identify the changes to the default text in a field?

    I created a form with fields default text for a user to update/customize.  Is there a way to style of the text, so I can quickly identify the changes to the default text in a field?

    You can use a validation script customized to each text field that looks like:

    event.target.textFont = event.value = event.target.defaultValue? font. HelvI: fonts. Helv;

    This will make the text italic (Helvetica) when the field value is the value default and regular otherwise. There are other properties that you can use instead, as the field color, border width, background color, text or text size...

  • Search for "blackle". Is there a way to auto-noir the bottom of each page visited?

    I like the idea of using a black background instead of white on my devices. I'm saving the planet and my eyes. Is there a way to display all the origins of the auto-noir site? And I suppose that, by extension, the white of the text? I understand the images on the page would remain in their original colors, and that's fine. I see a blank page and I want to paint it black.

    People have experimented with modules in this direction over the years. Some who always seem to be maintained are:

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/night-mode-Pro/

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/aniverto/

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/eyeguard/

    This allows you to switch between different color profiles and is probably a little more of "brute force":

  • Is there a way to globally disable the cache of Firefox?

    I run a computer lab with several linux PC (Ubuntu LTS 14.04 / latest version of Firefox). The users homedirectories are located on a file server central and limited by a diskquota.

  • The applications listed under Launchpad, is there a way I can delete the ones I don't use on my MAC Air?

    The applications listed under Launchpad, is there a way I can delete the ones I don't use on my MAC Air? I hope that I can free up space.

    Start the LaunchPad and hold the option key. The icons will start to shake and an X will appear in the upper corner of some but not all. Click the X to remove the application. Programs that have an X are only purchased/downloaded from the App Store. Integrated programs in Mac OS (like Safari) or programs you have downloaded/purchased elsewhere will not be a X. You should not delete (or move) programs such as Safari and Mail (built-in programs) because the update from Apple guess they were be on your computer in their installation location. Weird things happen if they are moved or deleted.

    Programs you don't purchase/download from the App Store can be deleted without the help of the dashboard, but you must be careful about this. Third party programs can be installed in different ways: some come in disk images and are trained in your application forms. These can be moved without danger in the trash. Some are installed using an installation program, and these require a little care to remove. In some cases, they set up items in addition to the program and require a special uninstall program, but this is not true in all cases. I always do the note of programs using a Setup program, so I can make sure I have properly uninstall.

    IS THERE A WAY TO "PUBLISHED IN THE WORLD" A WHOLE PROJECT OR AT LEAST PARAMETERS?

    Is it wise to publish all THE settings of a plugin?

    I prefer to reduce the options, for example I'm rigging 'size' to distribute only one of them-in my eyes - range 'useful '; or create by rigging the drop-down menu 'plans', for example for the color selections...

    In any case...

    'Major settings' as Transform or filling or 3D can be published, just click Reset arrow, and all the "sub menu" get published too... can't imagine how to make the publication easier...

    BTW: CAPS means YELLING on the boards...

  • Is there a way to tell when the bin was emptied last?

    Is there a way to tell when the bin was emptied last?

    Open a new Finder window. The display in the FInder menu, select Customize toolbar... Drag / move the icon to get information from the right toolbar on the left of the existing action button. Click done in the personalization Control Panel and close the window of the Finder. This Get Info button will also be useful for selections of files.

    OS X does not connect to an event to empty the trash. You can click on the trash icon in your Dock, and if the Recycle Bin has been emptied recently, you'll be watching an empty Finder window. Now, you can click on this button to obtain information about the toolbar, and the displayed change date will be when the Recycle Bin has been emptied. If you add more items to the trash, this date modifed will be when the last element has been added.

  • Is there a way to manually activate the built in FLASH on my Canon Rebel T3i?

    Is there a way to manually activate the built in FLASH on my Canon Rebel T3i? I can't find the place to do this.
    Thank you.

    You can also use the "Programming" mode  Program mode allows the camera to choose the initial settings, but unlike the automatic mode where you cannot override the decisions of the exhibition, you CAN override the decisions of the exhibition in programming mode if you wish.

    If you choose the programming mode, press the button to bring up the flash and then don't bother to circumvent the decisions of exposure of the camera then it will work a lot like automatic mode.

  • External hard drive does not work. Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

    My external hard drive works. I tried to plug and when I tried to open it, it says to format the drive until I could use it. Everything works well as when I plugged the USB icon shown on the screen. When I check the disk management, it showed that the partition of the drive is there.

    I tried to change the drive letters, but still having the same problem. I also tried to run the disk check on the command prompt and the properties of the drive, but it still can not because there is error popping up saying that the disk check cannot be performed because Windows cannot access the disk.

    Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

    I tried the first step in troubleshooting the hard drive, but it gives a
    error in saying that "hardware changes might not have been detected.

    So I tried the second method, and when I click on the "Check now" button his
    gives an error saying that "the disk check cannot be performed because .
    Windows can not access the disk".".

    So is there any other way or option?

    Thank you

  • Manual large editions with sensitive html setting. Is there a way to determine how the entries appear in the table of contents?

    I publish major textbooks with sensitive html setting. Is there a way to determine how the entries appear in the table of contents? If I publish a small section of the manual then 2nd level entries appear as eruptions under the chapter name, but if I publish the manual in its entirety then level 2 headings are not at all. I would like them to appear as the eruptions in the table of contents, but I need to publish the manual as a whole in order to keep the cross references. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    I think that this would make clearer - and it would skip and tables of contents of books under.
