Not necessarily a photography question, but related in a way......Went to the left coast after Labor Day, every image file from my Nikons, when opened and viewed using my MacPro which was purchased this June, every file now has a ( ._ ) period underscore added as a prefix. Files with this prefix will not open using Windows. In addition, the prefix now creates a duplicate file that takes up storage on a flash drive or on my Samsung external SSD. Have not checked any of the videos yet, I presume the same thing will happen. An inconvenience and a big pain in the butt if I have to have separate storage for Windows and Mac!!! Also know that files with the prefix will not display on my Samsung 55" HD TV. Never had an issue viewing trip pics on my TV before this. This is also reason NOT to check pics on the SD or XQD cards with the Mac. Anyone know why this is happening???? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.......................
