Hi Terry,
I had not considered this option (as you can see from my long posting
just a few minutes ago), but what you say makes good sense to me - I see
you share my concern about the security of images on the SD card. That
factor really gave me the heebie-jeebies when I realised what DT was
doing - shudder... I'll examine this in more detail.

Hi Tony,
since you have LR use that program to import and organise your
files. It is well designed and excellent at that task. It also does
good editing of Raw files, but DT is more sophisticated in the edits
you can do. I own LR and use it as a catalog, sometimes to do panorama
stitching and sometimes HDR images. But I love DT editing far more
than LR editing usually. Focus on what DT does great, which is editing
not cataloging. BTW, the extra images may be JPG files associated
(embedded) with Raw files but I am not sure. I also recommend never
letting the computer delete images from your camera's SD card. I have
seen this as a cause of problems with my photography students in the
past. I recommend copying images from the Sd card. Ensuring you have a
minimum of two copies of the original on separate drives. Then, and
only then, format the card in the camera to clean up the card. I
would format rather than delete all images. Hope that helps.

In addition to the difficulties I am having with import (the
subject of
an earlier posting) I now find that DT imports more images than
there
are on my SD card. The camera tells me my card has 52 images; Windows
tells me my card has 52 images. Lightroom finds and imports 52
images.
iMatch tells me there are 52 images and adds them to its database
as I
expect. DigiKam does likewise. DT, uniquely, finds 72 of these 52,
providing sometimes as many as 8 images with the same file name. What
causes this strange behaviour and how can I trust that DT is also not
'losing' some images on import, in addition to 'creating' some?
