Weird file saving after updating 6K Pro to 8.6

PostSat May 18, 2024 3:02 pm

So I just came back from a trip and went to transfer 289 Braw clips from my T7 Shield SSD to my PC. Now interestingly there's double the amount of 'clips', the first 289 files are a few kb in size with the prefix ._ then comes an unsupported file named ._' followed by my 289 complete BRAW clips. There's also a folder that's been created by the camera named BlamOS-Private-Items :shock:

I have attached a screenshot of the file list however I haven't seen this previously and it's a bit suspect having just updated to 8.6 :P Can anyone shed some light on this?

I believe they're for the new in-camera features, like Clip Deletion.

Really annoying, I think. I'd happily do without that feature to get rid of them.

Thanks for that, I did wonder about the clip deletion thing being related but didn't think something like that would cause such a mess whilst making the files! Yeah I'd happily do without it too now to be fair, hopefully it's something they can iron out for the next update.

I wrote about those files a bit more here:

Saying "Thx for help!" is not a crime.
