Confirm DCIM folder replace "This destination already contains a folder named DCIM" [x]Do this for all current items [[Yes]][Skip][Cancel]
https://i.postimg.cc/zfYSK9vx/skip01.jpg
"Confirm folder replace" "This destination already contains a folder named DCIM" [x]Do this for all current items [[Yes]][Skip][Cancel] In Windows, with Android over USB in MTP mode, copying the DCIM folder from the phone to Windows, is easily enough done. a. Select the DCIM folder on the phone b. Copy it to a DCIM folder on the desktop But when doing that with large DCIM folders, it takes a while... "Calculating the time required to copy files" so you go off and do other things.... Invariably, when the form finally comes up to the foreground asking: "Confirm folder replace" "This destination already contains a folder named DCIM" "[x]Do this for all current items [[Yes]][Skip][Cancel]" you're in the middle of something else. Hence, when that form pops up to the foreground, you're invariably already typing something at the keyboard, which the form interprets as a response! https://i.postimg.cc/zfYSK9vx/skip01.jpg You normally simply click the checkbox and press "Skip" (to skip duplicates), but since you're already typing something in another application, the damn Windows DEFAULTS to "Yes" instead. Is there any way to either get that damn form to stay in the background until I manually revive it, or, at least to get it to "Skip" all current items by default (instead of to copy all by default)? -- Sometimes you need the help of experts across the board to solve issues. |

Why not just copy *.jpg into the DCIM folder on your computer? Will iDevices not copy individual files? -- Cheers, Bev "The primary purpose of any government entity is to employ the unemployable." |
