Betty LaRue Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I'm working on a folder of images, and in the folder where my jpegs for uploading is, I looked at the number shown at bottom left. It gives the number of files but says "one hidden". What does that mean and how can I see the hidden file? <scratching head> Betty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webby Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Hi Betty, it could be a Canon .ctg file. Its a CaTaloGue file used by the camera to index the shots taken. Copied over from the card. Maybe..... Webby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty LaRue Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Thanks, Webby. I hadn't come across the hidden file problem in a long time. I think in the early years of shooting Nikon, I saw it quite often but never had a clue how I could be hiding a file, lol. It really made me doubt my skills.

Webby Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 could be .NJB file then. Same thing but Nikon. can you see it in your normal file viewer? (Finder on Mac/Explorer on Win) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Morgan Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I know you have a Mac, but in Windows you go to Control Panel> Appearance > Folder options > View tab > Advanced setting and choose "Show hidden files". Here is a link for how to do it on a Mac. http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/how-show-hidden-files-in-mac-os-x-finder-funter-3520878/ Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betty LaRue Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 Okaaay, looked at that Jill. Frankly scares the bejabbers out of me. Sounds like I could seriously mess up my computer if I do something wrong. Although I'm wondering if the Kapersky pop ups source I can't get rid of is there. It's sure not anywhere I can find. By the way, don't subscribe to Kapersky virus checker and then quit it. You'll be plagued with pop ups trying to get you to renew until you are in your grave. Not just one of them, but 3 stacked on top of each other every time you boot up. I think I'll just believe what Ian is saying and that the hidden file isn't worthy of my notice.

Chuck Nacke Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I may be wrong, but.... I only shoot RAW with Nikon D800's and I believe it is the xmp file. On a shoot of 400 images I get about 400 "hidden files" I'm also working on a PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webby Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hi Chuck, Betty's working on a folder of jpegs. The .xmp files are only attached to the .RAW file. There would also be more than one hidden in a folder full of images. XMP files show up in Finder. Another thought, are you using Lightroom? Not sure, but that could also leave an index file in each folder. Webby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was this folder full of jpegs I opened to see how many I had, and saw the "one hidden" message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
