Yes, much slower than the camera's microSD.

why are you still using windows xp?

xp hasn't been patched in years and if you're connecting to the
internet (which you must be if you're posting), you're at *serious*
risk for being pwned


That's why I use XP. So I can be part of the massive botnet
that pwned the hundreds of millions of PCs that still run it.
What, M$ lied ? Most botnets run on Win 7 - 10 ?
Time to update.

Is there a reason you know of or can imagine why this would work with
XP and not with 10???


Because Win 10 is a piece of crap!
There is no need to try to say this in any nice way...

Actually, the break in numbers do not show that. Last numbers
I saw, W7 was broken into more than xp, but it was so close
it was a statistical dead heat.

M$ has never been very good a security patches anyway. You
should rely on a good Anti Virus as your first
line of protection. Kaspersky still supports XP.

Just off topic musing. "ye" or "thorn" is pronounced as "th".
So, "ye old coffee shop" is pronounced as "the old coffee shop"
or "What say the about this?".

Here is a fun video on it:

This remains the most important question:

So i renamed the directory wth the photos that is on the SD card in the camera


and the new name appears in the title bar of the file
manager, and the title bar for its half of the screen, but the hour
glass is still showing 25 minutes after I did this. It only took 15
minutes to copy the pictures, but otoh, I was copying tehm to a
harddrive which I guess is faster than an SD card (even though I made
a point to get a fast SD card)

?
It does NOT say "program stopped" or whatever at the top,



ESPECIALLY HE

so my only
thought is that to change the directory name, it has to change
something in every one of the 1200 files in that directory.

Is that true?

Does it wear out the SD card to make such changes for what is
basically no good reason**?. Like flashdrives wear out, or used to.

If I'd known that I never would have done this. **It takes a little
effort to find where I left off at the last backup, but only a little.
And both my earlier Fuji and another camera came with softwware that
would do it automatically, whicfh I could have looked for and
installed on the netbook but did not.

So, Is it true? How long should I wait. ... Oh, it just finished,
after about 30 minutes, but the questions still stand, if you have any
info on the subject.

I was going to write you back using the thorn symbol, but
I would have to switch to HTML to do so. Rats!

What's so hard about 0

What's so hard is that you might be seeing the character you expect
before the question mark, but not everyone else will; I see a square.
HTML might get over such limitations, if the person reading has a recent
enough HTML parser that it knows the code for the character that you've
used.

And judging by the fact that it's come back as " ", I'm guessing you
were using a non-standard question mark too! (And the mystery character
has come out as 0 this time!)

AHA! So there was something I missed there. The char-set is UTF-8.

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!or...A/vSR8gShFBwAJ

EA 9D A4 ?

http://unicode-search.net/unicode-na....pl?term=THORN

UTF-8 encoding LATIN CA*PI*TAL LET*TER THORN WITH STROKE

What's interesting, is none of my three browsers can reproduce the
graphic symbols in that table. I guess "THORN with stroke"
causes them to "have a stroke". The best of the lot of browsers,
all it got was a square.

I loaded the unicode-search page into MSEDGE and it managed
to render the information OK. Page looks like this. The one
in question, is the one in the middle of the seven entries.

*******

So are those hieroglyphics or Sumerian cuneiform ? :-)

Apparently cuneiform has its own Unicode table. So the
next time your browser cannot render something, blame it
on this.

Yes, usenet seems split into people who hold-on to the view that it
should be kept 7 bit pure ASCII, and those who have moved on :-)
