This topic is turning out to be more complex than I had anticipated.

To a novice computer person this could be totally confusing when looking/searching for a certain file they need to copy, move, send in a email or edit. This never made any sense to me as I can have many files with the same name, especially with image files and with other files I use on a daily basis (CAD files created to open in different CAD programs), with different file extensions linking them to completely different programs or to different parts of the same program (as is the case with PS and RAW/PSD/TIFF files). The one thing I could never unsderstand is why MS decided to hide file extensions as the default option in Win Explorer/My Computer. There are other things also but I won't go into them here. The one thing I could never stand on a Mac, although it has been years since I've sat in front of a Mac, was that every time you put a flash memory stick/card or a CD/DVD disk in the drive/slot it created a folder on the desktop for that item and didn't delete it after you removed that item.

Thanks Art, I understand now that the Mac OS creates those files, which is what I suspected, and doesn't delete/remove them when ejecting the card. The test I proposed to Wilson it's just a way to verify what I've just said.

If you introduced in a Windows system a card you have previously introduced on a Macintosh system, you will see the hidden files and folders which were created by Mac OS X (only if "Show hidden files and folders" option is activated on Windows -different ways to do that depending if you're using XP or Vista). You only get hidden files and folders (that Wilson posted hereabove) when you introduce a SD card in a Macintosh computer running Mac OS X. You're right: there's no hidden files or folders on SD card formatted in a M8 or with a PC. I think you misunderstood me (it's probably my poor English). I don't have a Mac and never plan on having a Mac. Maybe you are talking about a SD card first inserted in a Mac and then brought over to a PC. There are no hidden files/partitions on the SD cards formatted in a M8.
