Not sure what happened. A few days ago I put in an SD card, opened GC, and it of course asked me if I wanted to browse the card. But it opens and shows nothing. I checked that everything in the Show menu was set to "All" (all ratings, all files, all formats, etc.). So I ended up copying them off the card in the finder to my temp folder (where I have GC normally put them) and from that folder GC sees them just fine. Today, same thing, different SD card from a different camera.

What must I have set or unset to make this happen under devices? Note that even when I click on the SD card in the tree (the one not listed under devices, I still do not see any files at all.

Hi,

does Apple Image Capture see the files on the card?

Did you try to format the card in the camera before the next usage?

Hi Thorsten,

One card I trired yesterday was not freshly formatted (I like to leave my images on my cards for a while just in case). The other card only had four new images I had shot that day (on a different camera than the first card by the way). However I do not remember if I formatted it or "Erase All"'d it.

Just now I tried both cards with Image Capture - they work fine. Image Capture sees them all. I also check GC again with both and nothing.

Next I restarted my Mac by doing a full shutdown, then booted back up. Same issue.

I then took a third card, put it in my camera, formatted it, and took one photo. GC does not see the photos on the card (I shot one shot but camera is set up for JPF+RAW so two saved images). I then verified Image Capture sees the photos.

So to answer your questions, Image Capture works great on all three cards, GC does not, and neither rebooting the iMac nor freshly formatting the card in the camera had any affect.

Did you access the card from the Devices in the folder tree in the browser?
That is the ImageCapture way.

Yes, I checked both places in the tree where the SD cards normally show up and both places showed no images. But it was the devices section that I originally was trying because I know this is the section that offers the downloading of the images. When I am back home tonight I can attach screen shots so you can see what I see if you like.

So I my SD card into the slot on my iMac and open GC and get the normal pop up...

Then it opens in browser and shows nothing. Open Image capture (seen here overlaid with CG) and I see the photos fine...

Here is the GC Show menu as currently set up...

Just downloaded the newest beta (4444)and still no joy. GC SD card browsing remains broken for me.

Edit to add: Also rename function doesn't seem to work the way it used to. I checked all the settings. Before if I renamed a batch of photos using date and time and two or more photos had the same time stamp (same seconds, no subseconds supported), then I would get 2020.06.08-17.42.06, 2020.06.08-17.42.06_1, 2020.06.08-17.42.06_2, etc. where the first one would be normal and subsequent ones would get the _x added. Now the subsequent files are ignored and do not get a rename.

Please save the rename settings and e-mail the file to support@lemkesoft.de

I did rewrite all I/O routines as written in the BETA note. So, there maybe bugs.

What happens if you access the SD card directly in the folder tree and not via devices?
