Since my Samsung S22+ has no SD card slot, I tried using a USB C SD card adapter with a 256 GB Micro SD Card. Here are my problems:

1. With the card and adapter plugged in, the card shows up in Android Storage Settings as “USB Storage”. The stock Camera App, however, has no setting to select storing to SD Card (OR to USB Storage). The App doesn’t seem to see the card.

2. In the Expert Raw App settings an option to select USB Storage IS available. When I select this, the image files are stored on the card in the folder DCIM/Expert Raw as “date_timejpg” instead of “date_time.jpg”. The dot before the file extension is missing. Renaming the file name to add the dot has it show up correctly and open as a .jpg file.

I tried using a thumb drive with a USB C to USB A adapter with the same results. It appears that USB Storage is not correctly supported.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I'd surmise that both app developer(s) need to update their software.
They probably didn't anticipate people using external memory via USB.

Is there a file naming option in the Expert Raw App.

No. I checked.

Thanks...

Very strange that it does not include the ".".

Can you transfer files from you phone to your computer via the Cloud. If so, you can do that, then plug in your card to the computer and do a click and drag of photo files to the card.

I have an iPad and a Mac, and my phone is an iPhone 13 Pro Max, so when I take photos with the phone, the images automatically go to both the iPad and the MacBook Pro. Then I plug in a card or thumb drive and do a direct transfer of images from the Mac. This probably doesn’t help your situation, but if your “Cloud” works the way iCloud does with Apple devices, it may work for what you need to do.

Actually, it's simpler than that. I can use the Samsung My Files app to move the files from internal storage to USB storage. I am, however, lazy. Even that is too labor intensive.

I was, by the way, an Apple fan boy back in the 90's with early Mac computers. At the time, the Mac user interface and graphics made Windows 3.1 a bad joke. In the meantime, Windows has largely caught up. Also, there were several engineering apps that ran only on Windows (and maybe Linux).

My iPad Pro does essentially the same thing for copying files to an SD card or thumb drive, and, like your system, it’s just too complicated and time consuming, so I just use the computer.

Along a similar line, I have been copying my S23 DCIM folder [Camera] to my Windows 11 for a while. After the last couple of windows updates, some sort of device in use error cropped up.
After trying to resolve it for a while, I tried the same procedure on an older Windows 10 machine WITH NO PROBLEMS!

Comments/Suggestions?

I remember they had thumb drives in the past with USB/Microsoft USB connectors but never had much luck actually using the memory on the Smartphone.
