I've come across that. But, said as it's best to only write to a card on only one device, and for that device to do *all* the reading, writing, deleting, and formatting. Though, in general, only delete individual files if you're really short on space. Otherwise, leave things there until you've done with the card. Here, the distinction between pro and amateur was whether it's a paying career, or not. Pro doesn't necessarily mean expert, or even any good. ;-\ -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
