I almost never reformat my cards. I realize that I should use cp rather than mv, and if any shots were important I would, but I just run this script: #!/bin/bash mkdir $1 date ls /media/disk/dcim/*/* |wc mv /media/disk/dcim/*/* $1 date The book did mention that the cards use fat16 and most computers use fat32 and that there are problems with computers mixing filesystem types on cards. My desktop uses ext3, but can read and write fat16, so the warning to format in the camera rather than delete in the computer may be a windows centric warning, but one where you never get into trouble from following it.
just a wild guess here, but you may be over-thinking this just a hair. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
