Q: duplicate, unreadable .(dot) files appear when I display images from macbook on TV using USB drive
Hello,
I am trying to display images taken from my macbook onto a Sony TV with a USB drive, but when I select the folder with the images, there is a duplicate file for each (.jpg or .png) image with a .(dot) in front of the filename. These duplicate 'dot' files are not readable by the TV and ruin the presentation by displaying an embarrassing black 'image cannot be displayed' screen between each image. These 'dot' files are invisible when I put the USB in my macbook. I understand they may be 'metadata' but I really just need the images to show on the TV, it should be as simple as that, right?
Thank you,
chediego
