Hello WAMUG folks,
I recently purchased an Imation 256MB thumb drive so that I can
take photo files to have them printed.
On the third time that I used it for this purpose, I copied photos
to it and took it to Harvey Norman in Midland. I plugged it into
the "photo making device" and 9 files appeared.
I thought "OK ... I must have copied 4 extra files by mistake".
So I ordered got prints for all of them.
When I got home I plugged it into my eMac to delete the files, but
only the 5 origianl files appeared.
HUH !!!!!
What the ????
Can anyone explain ?
Without seeing the directory listing, I'd say four of the images had
"Resource Forks" in the form of previews or custom icons attached to
them.
Under Mac OS X we don't see these as separate files, but under
Windows these preview/icons are shown as a separate file (I think
with a leading underscore or period)
When you got your prints back, did you get 5 or 9? And if 9, where
there two copies of 4 of them?
