I'll start with the dumb answer first: are you sure you're not dealing with a separate partition each time, as you said you had two?
Else, for what it's worth... I often have a strange issue with my digital camera. It has a bug: sometimes, it "forgets" about the previously created dcim/ folder, and creates a new dcim/ folder! Impossible you say
yet it is true.
This leads me to the interesting part: When I go into dcim/ on Linux (cd /mnt/camera/dcim/), I see by default the contents of the
old dcim, whereas when I "mount" the card on Windows or view the pictures with the camera itself, I see the contents of the
new dcim! The filesystem is FAT12 (obviously broken yet usable). Luckily for me, Linux is oh so powerfull, and I can issue the following commands to get everything back:
Code:
/mnt/camera$ mv dcim dcim.01
/mnt/camera$ mv dcim dcim.02
/mnt/camera$ cp -rf dcim.01 dcim.02 ~/saveJPG/
This may help you... or not. Good luck.
