[QUOTE="RuthyN, post: 1609833, member: 334586"] I have a Macbook Air. I take photos, put them on the Mac while on holiday, then transfer them via a flash-drive to my pc later. [U]On the pc [/U]I always see there are small duplicate files with the same name as the images but starting with a dot ( . ) They won't open. Can I safely delete these off the pc without damaging the proper file. Sometimes they are RAW files, so there is a side-car xmp file. These are also duplicated, with a dot prefix. all these .---- files are only 4-6kb each. Thanks for your help. [/QUOTE]
