The perversity of Samsung

Show all headers | View raw

I needed to upload a picture from my Samsung A54 5G phone to my 
windows 10 PC. (It's for a passport, so I couldn't just email it to 
myself because the phone compressed it from 4 MB down to 200 KB; the 
State Department wants full resolution.)

Connected phone to PC by USB cable, picked "Transferring files" in 
the phone's popup. In Windows File Explorer, opened Galaxy A54 5G » 
Internal Storage » DCIM » Camera. No sign of my picture. Switched to 
View » Details so that I could sort newest to oldest, since this 
picture is the one I took most recently. Nothing there more recent 
than last fall, when I switched from a Moto e5+ phone. Hmm. Picture 
must be somewhere on the Samsung, but where? 

Opened Gallery on the phone and the picture was right there. Tapped 
on the i-in-a-circle, and the phone showed the location as /Internal 
Storage/DCIM/Camera. But that's the folder I have open in File 
Explorer, and the pic isn't there! Maybe the picture is a hidden 
file, and I need to enable viewing hidden files? Clicked View in File 
Explorer, and Hidden Items was already checked. 

Something whispered to me to turn off viewing of Hidden Items. As 
soon as I did that, File Explorer showed the pictures I had taken 
with the Samsung phone. I clicked the photo I wanted and dragged it 
to my desktop/.

That's right, the picture files are invisible when View » Hidden 
Items is checked, and visible when View Hidden Items is blank (not 
checked). Oy vey!
