![]() I have been using Pentax cameras with a multitude of different Mac models for over 10 years and I don't remember ever seeing this issue with various permutations of Optio WPi, K100, K200 - reading images with multiple internal slot and external USB readers or direct connected transfer by USB cable(s) / OS versions from 10.5 through 10.12 / SD cards from Kingston, Transcend, Samsung / card sizes ranging from 1 GB through 32 GB.ġ) What version of Mac OS X are you using?ģ) When removing the card from the camera to import photos, are you using an Internal SD card slot or an external USB reader?Ĥ) Are you running a virus checker that might be doing an on demand scan when the card is mounted or the camera is connected?ĥ) Are you formatting the card in the camera, or formatting the card in your Mac? Personally, I suspect a hardware issue not a software problem. Something strange is happening here, and there have been many useful comments in previous posts about the writing of hidden OS files etc. ![]() If you know a better way build a better mouse trap write your own OS and filing system and the world will beat a path to your door. But then you can't delete files off the card either. If you set the write protect tab on the files won't get written to the card. You can delete these files but the Mac OS will just create them again the next time you attach the card slowing down read/write times and increasing the chance of corruption if you remove the card before all the cache writes are done. Some of these you never see because the go into the temp directories or are deleted by the application. xmp sidecar files used for PEF RAW files or. Many Windows applications will create auxiliary such as the. The downside with this is since they don't get stored on removable drives they have to be built every time you connect the drive to a new Windows PC. You don't ordinarily see them since the get placed in a system folder on your Windows drive. ![]() WIndows creates thumbnail files for caching. Some put this information in the file tables which means larger file tables more prone to corruption. All OSes/filing systems do this using various schemes. IMHO, it's a PITA - created by people who think they know better about how MY data should be handled! Shame!!!The Mac OS creates these files to store auxillary information and for caching purposes. I do not know if the creation of these files & folders can be prevented or not. So - your Mac is almost certainly doing something similar.
