Hi Everyone, I had posted about this in regards to being a photographer with limited CF card space, so I often bring my laptops to upload cards on-the-go. In this fashion it's easy to sometimes shoot on cards that have been partially uploaded or uploaded and then not reformatted and had additional files added. This is a big reason the "don't replace" was of value to me, as I am always worried about accidentally deleting work. (No judgements on my work-flow or style, I just upgraded to a markii so at the largest RAW even a 16GB o ly holds about 400 files and I usually shoot 2500 for an avg 4-6 hour event)
I did NOTICE recently that a days ted a shoot when I was transferring the last cards, when the finder popped up where it would normally list "don't replace" there were the same options as always, but this time it listed information about a duplicate file that was found. Has anyone else seen this in Lion OS?
I'm guessing this was the intention, why I didn't see it on other transfers I've done I don't know. But regardless, it only listed ONE file - which given how I shoot, would imply there are many more. So I think of I had hit "skip" it would have gone on to show me the next duplicate. This is still a big error of Lion, because it's just common sense that if this is the updated version of "don't replace" then it should list all the files that are duicates at one time.
I plan on writing Apple today about the issue, as was directed in one of the preceding posts. I also an on listing a link to this discussion - it would be GREAT if everyone else grappling with this did likewise, as I'm sure it's likely to have more of an impact.
