eye symbol in the thumbnail

Stuart McClay
I am shooting with a Canon 1Ds Mark 3 and have been using it teathered to the laptop up until this morning. I now have what looks like an eye symbol in the corner of the thumbnails and I cant append any of the settings on the captures. Can you help please

    Seems that you shoot in JPG. JPEGs aren't editable.

    I experienced the same problem, I was shooting RAW with 1D mark III and 5D Mark II and the file is fine (editable) in my external disk attached to PC running CO 4.6.2 at home but when I attached the external disk with the same file in my laptop, the eye icon appeared in the thumbnails and the file is not editable..... help.. what did I do that made the eye icon appearing and read the manual it doesn't says what cause it.

    Thank you

    Two options I can think of.
    1) Your laptop runs an older version of CO 4.x; I notice that display of the raw file means that the raw file is supported, but you could check that both versions are in line.
    2) Your external disk has NTFS format; you can check this in the disk properties; this can cause that you do not have sufficient permissions over your files on the external disk; before we go into that, first check whether this is NTFS or FAT32.

    I had this happen when I was testing the new Windows 7 beta. I managed to get the NDAS to work on Windows 7 by lowering the network security to the lowest level, a slider, but can't remember where I found that at this point. This might give you a little direction in where to look anyway.

    I have just now switched back to my xp drive and haven't check its behavior as of yet.

    With that change, CO-4 worked flawlessly with Windows 7.

    Paul,

    You're right, it's got something to do with NTFS file permission, I changed the permissions and everything works fine. Thank you very much Paul.
