Something strange is happening on my main office PC! When I have copied images from my stills camera for some unexplained reason they are being duplicated with a longer file name, for instance, an image that has a name of P1020839 is duplicated as P1020839@2014-10-07T08;43;06. This obviously the time & date when it was taken, but it means that I have duplicates in the same folder which is reducing the amount of images I can store. I`ve also tried to find a way of grouping these extras in order to delete them & I would like to prevent it happening in the first place, anyone any ideas? Thanks.
Are you using software to download from camera, like Photoshop elements, that automatically names and creates folders on your PC?
May also be set to add date and time of capture.
If so, you can rename the file and folder default names.
I simply drag & drop from the SD card which I put into the card reader & drop into a folder. The odd thing also is that not every file is duplicated!
Did you find an answer Barry. ??
I now seem to spend a lot of time arguing with inanimate objects
