I agree. Also, a high quality SD card reader can be significantly faster (10x or more) than a cheaper one.
A good one is the ProGrade DUAL-SLOT SD reader p/n PGRWSDHCXCANA but there are others. ---- On Sat, 02 Jan 2021 12:47:46 -0500 Jean-Luc CECCOLI <jean-luc.cecc...@wanadoo.fr> wrote ---- I wonder why on earth do some people absolutely want to import right from the camera. It is far slower and less safe than doing it by reading the card from a card reader. Safe : if the card falls on to the ground, it will not be the same as if it were the camera. Slower : I admit this is based upon my own observations with Nikon 1 v1, D700 and D4s conneted either via usb2 or usb3. Plus, if I do not mistake, this just does import the pictures into the database, so they will not be available anymore after unplugging the camera. I think, together with others on this list, that the best is to copy the files from the card to the disk, and then import them. There are many tools that allow organizing while copying, most of them have been listed in previous posts. ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
