If you put the cards back in the camera can you still see all the photos in
preview?
Yes. The photos were all still there on the card when I looked at the
little TV screen on the back.
I finally did manage to copy them all (except for one that was
corrupted) over to the computer ... by various means.
I figured out it was pulling down approximately 8 images before the
error would occur, so I went over to Windows where I could pull up the
DCIM folder & view the sub-folders.
I made a DCIM "copy" folder on my desktop and then copied the
sub-folders one at a time. When it would error out, I'd remove the card
reader from the USB and reinsert it.
I could see which files had copied before the error, so I'd take the
next 8 files & copy them ... then the NEXT 8 until I got an error ...
At which point repeat removing & reinserting the card reader and carry
on ...
Once I had all the photos (verified I can see & open them from Bridge) I
have since reformatted the cards.
Can you use the camera as the card reader? That is, connect the camera to the
computer and download from there.
I don't have the necessary equipment to do it that way so I don't know.
Can you download to a non-Windows device, such as a phone?
Ditto ...
EXCEPT I did the process I outline above on a different Windoze computer
(my game & goofing off computer) and then copied the images over to my
file server and then pulled them from the file server to the Photoshop
Computer.
Since then I've been going through ALL of my photos on the Photoshop
Computer & verifying them.
It's been 20 years plus 1 week since I got my *ist-D. The *ist-D, K10D &
K20D have all rolled over past 9999 at least once.
I'm up to 2016 so far. The only thing I've run into is there are periods
when I didn't rename the photos upon uploading ... IMGPnnnn to
istD-0nnnn; IMGPnnnn to istD-1nnnn and so on for the K10D, K20D, K-3 &
K-1 (the K-1 got the numbers reset when I had to send it in for repair,
so it's already at "K-1_1nnnn" even though it hadn't rolled over).
And I've found duplicate folders where one will have the images IMGP1234
and the other will have Kxx-01234. Takes me a while to compare the
folders and make sure there are no images I haven't duplicated in
renamed images folder.
I keep ALL of my images - good, bad & ugly - because having gaps in the
numbering confuses me and I worry I've lost images somewhere, but once I
have verified that I have all the images in both folders I will delete
the folder that doesn't have the images renamed.
Anyway, I've got less than 10 years worth of images still left to verify
... so back to work.
