Hello everyone.

Here is my problem: when I transfer photos from my Kodak Pixpro AZ365 to my Acer PC running Windows 10, the THM thumbnails are installed at the same time as my photos in my pictures. So if I take 100 photos, I have 100 thumbnails to delete with a right-click, it's really a hassle. So my question is: how can I transfer my photos without the THM thumbnails? If you have the solution, a huge thank you for sharing it with me.

Michel.

    Hello,

    Check that hidden files and folders are not enabled

    The procedure:
    Open, for example, the My Computer icon on the Desktop
    Go to → View
    Uncheck the box → Hidden items

      Hello,
      Thank you for your reply, that's what I did, but it’s still the same.

    - It is possible that this comes from your Kodak Pixpro AZ365

    Explanation:
    Your Kodak creates videos and generates THM thumbnails that are automatically imported during a photo or video transfer

    If you do not use the import function, check what you can see manually on your Kodak Pixpro
    Plug your Kodak in via USB
    Forget about the automatic import or transfer of images for 2 minutes
    Go to → This PC
    Go into your Kodak and into your photos
    You might have a DCMI folder (then a Camera folder) just like on smartphones
    I don’t know if you will see THM files aside from your images

    Try this:
    On the Desktop for example, create a folder called 'Image Testing'
    Select 4 or 5 photos and then copy and paste them into your folder
    See if you can now see THM files

    Others:
    If you have videos, back them up on the PC in a folder
    Delete the videos from your Kodak Pixpro AZ365
    The operation can also be done from the PC (This PC → Kodak)

    Try importing photos again with or without the direct function → import photos
    When connected via USB, the message appears right away

    Do you have an SD memory card to store your photos directly on your Kodak
    Then transfer the card to your PC like you would with a USB drive
    Most PCs have card reader slots, otherwise buy a USB Card Reader.

    See you!

    Hello
    Okay, I did as you told me, instead of transferring my photos as usual, I connected and by clicking on my PC then on KODAK there was DCMI, and from there I copied and pasted into an empty folder, and I only got my photos. Well done, a big thank you to you, you're great. See you soon maybe.

    You're welcome
    If you want, you can try transferring your photos with the Kodak EasyShare software
    I modified the title of your question, which seems more appropriate.
    You can close the discussion as resolved like this
    Good luck.
    Have a nice day.
