Can I exclude certain file types in the Photo Downloader?

Hi there!
I am very new here, so please do correct me on etiquette and if I'm doing something wrong. I've been searching the web for quite a while now but couldn't find an answer or even questions concerning this problem...
I like using Bridge's Photo Downloader, for the nice renaming and other options it gives me. Usually I want to download all images from a card and then delete them on the card. The problem I am having is that Photo Downloader will not only see images (like .JPG, .CR2 or .ARW) but camera database files and settings (.INT, .BDM, .BIN, ...). This is annoying, since I neither want them stored on my hard drive nor deleted on my card. I also would like to import movies in a different way. The way I can work around this now is that I manually deselect all non-images in the Advanced Dialog and then only download these. But I was hoping that there is a more elegant and automatic way to just exclude certain file types from automatic selection. Or even just a way to mark or unmark the images by file type. This should be very easy to implement and I am really curious if I am missing something obvious here or if this is just not possible yet.
Has anyone else thought this before? Or are you all using different methods to import images from your card reader?
Any help or comment is appreciated.

Sorry, download history is either on or off. There is no preference setting to exclude specific file types.

  • MDT 2013 USMT customization to exclude specific file types

    Hi,
    I have a need to exclude a specific file type from migration with USMT within MDT 2013.
    So far, I think I know the following:
    I have to create a custom XML file.
    I have to place the custom XML file in the deployment share's Tools\x86|x64\USMT5 folder.
    I have to reference the custom XML file customsettings.ini using USMTMigFiles003 (1 and 2 are used by the default files).
    I think I'll need to use unconditionalExclude.
    However, I am having trouble finding a proper example of a custom XML file. I can find the reference documentation, but actually having a single example isn't as easy to find.
    Specifically, I want to exclude all VMDK (VMware virtual hard disks) from being migrated, regardless of where on the machine they are.
    Thanks for any assistance,
    SA.

    You need something like the below. You can find it in the provided link:
    <unconditionalExclude>
    If you want to exclude a file type from the migration, regardless of the other <include> or <exclude> rules, you can use the <unconditionalExclude> element. This element excludes objects globally across all components. For example, you
    should use this element if you want to exclude all .mp3 files from the computer.
    <migration urlid="http://www.microsoft.com/migration/1.0/migxmlext/excludefiles">
    <component context="System" type="Documents">
    <displayName>Test</displayName>

  • WRT610N certain file types have wrong time stamp

    Hi, I have searched this forum for a similar problem with no luck - so here goes...
    I have a WRT610N router using the latest firmware 1.00.03 B15. After upgrading the firmware I reset router for 30 sec., and then powerdown for 30 sec. as I have read on this forum, and yes the USB drive was disconnected before hand, but I still have this problem when creating/saving certain file types on the USB drive attached to the router.
    I have discovered that MS Word and PowerPoint files (.doc & .ppt) are saved with the correct date and time, but MS Excel, Notepad, and HTML files (.xls, .txt, and .mht) are saved with a time stamp that is one hour later!!! There may be other file types that are affected by this as well.
    Example: I create/save a Word file and also an Excel file at 1:00 PM, When I use Windows Explorer to view the details of the files on the USB drive, the Word file has a timestamp of 1:00 PM, but the Excel file has a timestamp of 2:00 PM (in the future). All other functions on the router seem to be OK.
    If I create these five file types on the C: drive they all have the same timestamps, I also have a Netgear SC101 NAS which shows the correct timestamps. I only have this problem when using the USB drive connected to the WRT610N. I tried this on 3 different computers - all have the same issue.
    This may seem like a minor issue, but Im using SmartSync Pro to back up all the drives on the LAN and it uses the file's timestamp to determine if it should be backedup or not. So Im concerned that backups may not be done properly, or God knows what it will do with files from the future!
    Im using WinXP SP3, the USB drive is a WD2500BEVS - 250GB with 4 partitions (largest is 120GB) all formatted as NTFS.
    I would appreciate it if others would try this and post their results here so I would know whether to bug Linksys for a fix, or if I have problems elsewhere in my configuration.  Thank you.

    Well, 15 days, 40 views, 0 replies.
    Could one kind sole, just one, please; startup Notepad, save an empty .txt file to the USB drive on the router, and then let me know if the file had the correct time stamp?
    Preferably someone with a ver 1 router, firmware 1.00.03 B15, and running WinXP SP3.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk.

    Downloads - I want to open some PDFs/other file types from the internet but not have to save them. I can't figure out how to view them and close them without having to save them first. When I click on a file, the downloads box opens and depending on the setting, it auto saves the file or asks me where to save the file. What if I don't want to save it anywhere, I just want to view it and close it?

  • Unable to stop Quicktime from playing certain file types

    Recently, Quicktime has begun to insist on playing certain file types accessed via Web Browser. I work at a radio station and we have to be able to import certain audio from the web into our own player/editing software.
    I have it set in the preferences that Quicktime not play any audio files.
    We have had to restrict the installation of Quicktime on our systems.
    Anyone know when Quicktime will allow us to really set preferences again?

    Each user account can set their own preferences for QuickTime browser playback.
    QuickTime Control Panel/Advanced/MIME Settings allow you to change those that will open via the QT browser plug-in.
    If your page code is "sloppy" and you directly link to the audio files then you may get a wide vary of responses from the viewing browser. Some users will download the file while others may get a QuickTime playback in a "new" window.
    Post a link to your page and we can view the page source code and help you with a solution.

  • Cannot Share Certain File Types...

    I recently uploaded a MP4 file that I wanted to share with a friend. The video is mine from my camera with basic editing in Premier. I uploaded this and then I see “You cannot share this file type.”
    After a looking through the other forums I came across this thread that says we cannot share video, music, and fonts. Hmmm....
    There is this sentence on the Creative Cloud Website:
    “When you're connected, you can do even more with Creative Cloud, thanks to online services for file sharing, collaborating, and publishing websites and documents.”
    Let us imagine:
    I am a Video Professional who uses Premier to edit videos and the above blurb excites me. I sign up and make3 the most awesome video of my career. ( dream frequently) I do a bit of editing, viola! A finished project Time to share with my friend so they can confirm I'm a genius, okay? Since I have a website with Business Catalyst using the Creative Cloud I will put it there. Oh wait, BC cannot handle a file over 100mb and my Video is a few hundred megabytes. Well, I have Creative Cloud Storage online and it allows for sharing, wonderful! I upload the video, no issue, then go to share the video. WAIT! What is this? I cannot share a file that I CREATED? Why Not?
    I can understand not wanting to get in trouble due to copyright law but you are a company that produces a program specifically for video editing (let us not forget Audition for Music/Audio editing.) I believed the pitch about Creative Cloud for professionals so they can create files and collaborate with anyone from anywhere. Yet there is that footnote: you cannot share video, music, or fonts. ?!?!?!? This is very limiting. If there are legal reasons why you cannot share the file types then say so. With MP4 there is a patent on the codec, and so we cannot share these files(?) but we can create them using Adobe Programs.
    No worries I'll just zip my files to have my genius confirmed or denied.
    Adobe, I would like to understand the reason for the block on allowing certain file types to be shared. With the disallowing of certain file types you severally limit the value of the Cloud. Also where is the list of blocked file types? Why did I have to find out the hard way that I cannot share videos? I cannot find a list or even a statement that those files are not allowed to be shared (other than a forum thread which is not the typical place those shopping for the service offered, would look).
    Thank You, I think I need a chocolate bar now.

    Agreed Lynda.
    There seems to be certain promises, which may give false impressions, in Adobe's marketing copy for the Cloud. Limitations of the Cloud are barely, if at all, mentioned,
    I hope it's made a little more accurate one day.

  • Is there a way to set the aspect ratio or file type in the camera for video settings?

    I always convert my .MOV videos to WMV so I can upload to my web site.  However, with my new iPhone (iOS7), the vidoes are distorted due to aspect ratio issues.  I'd like to set the output aspect ratio and.or file type when I create a new video on my iPhone 5s.

    There is no user setting for this in the native iOS app. It is possible that if you use some other 3rd party app you can make some changes to that, but I'm not sure. There are also no settings for changing the file type on the phone itself.
    I've not experienced any issues with distortion on mine, but it could be your converter. Have you tried another one?

  • I want to change the default file type in the Open File dialog - e.g. from Word to All Files

    I want to change the default file type in the Open File dialog - most recently specifically in Adobe Acrobat, from Adobe Files to All Files, so I don't have to do it again and again manually.  Is this possible?  Is it an OS setting or an app-specific setting?

    The Apps set the default to the file type it can open, sort of. However, there normally isn't a type specified. All document types that the app can handle will be offered.
    Adobe, and Microsoft, tend to roll their own dialogs, so they may not be standard. I don't have Acrobat, so I can't verify that. If Adobe is puting a file type selector in their open file dialogs, it would be up to them to store the preferences.
    EDIT: I checked Reader, and i see what you mean. Not terribly useful.

  • Adobe Reader could not open .img because it is either not a supported file type or the file damaged

    Adobe Reader could not open .img because it is either not a supported file type or the file damaged

    Yes, *.img is either a stone old image format (as in picture/ photo) or a shorthand for a disk image archive. If you're reasonably sure it's a pixel image, use a converter like IrfanView or XnView and turn it into something Acrobat/ Reader can actually use...

  • Attach any file type in the same format and send it thorugh mail

    Dear Guru ,
    I have encountered an issue which i am not able to resolve .
    The issue is like this I need to upload any kind of file type(such as .txt, .xls, .pdf, .doc, .jpeg, .bmp)
         and need to send that file send that particular file and the same file type format attached in the mail.
    how i should approch to get solution to this issue.
    I have gone through the all prog refered in the code gallry (related to send mail with attachment) but i am not able to find out any prog which is giving guidine line attach any kind of file type from the PC (most of the prog is with either taking filetype .txt, .xls or RAW) and send it via mail .
    Need  proper guideline to resolve this issue.... how i should approch to solve this.....
    Thanks & regards
    Saifur Rahaman

    Dear Saha Da,
    Yes saha da i know using SO00 or Sap Business Workplace (SBWP) you can send it.
    But the requirment is like this it must have to do from the selection scereen of the prog .User can save the path of the file which is residing in pc in a variant and from that variant prog will run in background to automate the process.
    We can do it using harcoding the filetype while uploading data from the selection screen.
    But we have to provide the flexiblity to the user so that he/she can change to any file or any file path.
    I am not pretty sure but i my plan i am thinking 1st i will provide the provision of uploading the file into sap application server and from there we will read the file type , file content and send it to mail.
    I know it can be done but right now dont know how it can be done ..... but i will findout...
    Can you give me some more guideline reagrding this.
    Thanks & regards

  • Premiere Pro CS5 crashing when exporting (only certain file types)

    Hi
    I have found that when I try and export media in Premiere Pro CS5, it often crashes during the export. It says
    It's only certain file types. For instance, Vimeo HD seems okay but Vimeo SD always crashes mid-export. MPEG is okay too, but MPEG2-DVD always crashes.
    Sometimes it says this: "Error Compiling Movie - Unknown Error" but doesn't throw me out of Premiere altogether.
    Other times it crashes altogether and Windows gives me this error message: "Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 258.96 stopped responding and has successfully recovered". Premiere Pro then stops responding so I have to re-open it and start exporting again.
    I have checked there are no gaps in my timeline and I have rendered the whole work area. Besides, I doubt it's anything that I'm doing wrong with the project itself because it's exporting fine in some formats.
    I am also experiencing random crashes when editing too. Not that often, but occasionally it throws me out - and twice it has made the whole screen go crazy, with weird dotting across the screen (it's scary, it looks like the monitor itself has broken!).
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Nick
    PS I have a pretty decent new PC - Dell Studio XPS, 8GB, 2x1TB drives, etc. Premiere itself is working great, except for these crashes.

    Some drivers do not work well in some systems... so go to nVidia and try a different (usually newer) driver for your card
    These notes are for Encore, but they MAY also work in Premiere

    To view your media, you open the app that you use to manage that type of media." this on the other hand was zero help
    What you did doesn't show the Media Browser. It just shows the folders where your media is stored. You may be correct that was all that cobacc wanted. 
    The Media Browser shows the actual media in thumbnails so that you can preview the media.
    However, neither requires any Sharing services to be enabled.
