    no option to delete images from phone once imported to PC.


    I am using windows 10 and I used to get the option to ' Delete images after import' from my phone.

    However this option no longer seems to be in use.

    Have ran all diagnostics and have also uninstalled and reinstalled specified programmes, drives and also returned phone back to defualt settings. However non of this has helped or changed anything.

    PLease advise ?

    Kind Regards,

    M

    :)

    What are the "tmp" .RAW files showing up when importing pics from Android to Windows PC?

    When importing photos taken from my Samsung Galaxy S6 into Windows 10, sometimes I get anomalous photos imported that are not in my camera's galaxy.

    The anomalous imported images vary in their contents: sometimes they are 1px*1px white image files of a few kb size; sometimes they are graphics like an arrow direction sign, a generic scene of a camera displayed over a cityscape like an ad, or an octagon; sometimes they are files that seem like images but don't open correctly; sometimes they are screenshots of my phone homescreen but they are not screenshots that appear in my phone gallery as when I intentionally take a screenshot. In my last test case, my import included 6 files named "tmp0", "tmp1" ... "tmp5" all .RAW format and somewhat large (one is 8MB, one is 15MB). These files sometimes have almost no metadata, and in some cases they have timestamps that happened when the phone was off and I was asleep! So far I've noticed they all have File Attributes="A" under Properties > Details > File, but I'm not sure what that means.

    Here are some specs on the import:

    • Samsung Galaxy S6 running Android v7.0
    • Windows 10 HP laptop
    • To import, I connect phone to PC via USB then Windows Photos pops up. It
      searches for new images, I then select which of the new ones I want to import and have options on what system to name & save them through and if deleting after importing, then I start the process. It's at that point - where Windows Photos is suggesting what images to import - that I see these weird images which aren't showing up on my phone's gallery.

    I use the same import system to import photos from a different camera which connects to the PC via an SD card. When going off the SD card, I never get these weird images, so this seems specific to the Android/Windows connection.

    Here's a screenshot of the weird photos I get when importing images from my phone, which are not in my phone's gallery:

  3. Importing photos

    Hi Susie,

    Is the phone not recognized or is it not importing the pictures automatically?

    Is Nokia PC suite installed in your PC? Is that not recognizing the phone as well?

    I would suggest you to open device manager and check if the device is listed in the device manager. Right click on the start button and click on Device manager. Check if the device is listed there . If it is listed, right click on the entry and click update
    driver. If the device is not listed, check if the device is listed under other categories. I would also suggest you to click on the 'View' menu button and click on "show hidden devices' and check if you find any entries related to your phone. Try these steps
    and let us know the results for further assistance.

    syncing images to pc & back to iphone

    Hey there I have a bit of a dilemma. I want to do this:


    1. sync images from my iphone to my pc
    2. run jpegmini on the images that are now on my pc from my phone
    3. replace the existing images on the iphone and icloud with the new smaller compressed images to save space and avoid cloud conflicts with the same files with different file sizes

    Surely this probably isn't as straight-forward as those steps above, right? Any feedback on what to do differently than the above or should I just stick with the above?
