Re: EOS UTILITY PROBLEM RE: 'PHOTOS' on a 400D

thanks for that.

I will remove it. It has no manners. Badly behaved. At the moment it is hung reporting it has found 742 items so far in it's search of my eos for new pics ! I've taken maybe 50 this morning at the most.

It has found 742 on the card is what I'd think. Not 742 new. Now that's bad programming right there.

And then to say 'so far' and hang with nothing to do - there's no other cards in the camera for god's sake - is further bad programming.

Now I see it has gone from my taskbar. Perhaps because I pressed 'cancel' on the hung 'search' screen or window. So it has shut down the whole app because I tried to shut down the search because it wouldn't complete. Without offering me an option or notifying.

That's also not good, is it? Looks to me like an incomplete piece of software being beta tested on the unsuspecting public.

So I've tried to uninstall it with the command I found on the web. It completed without any messages so I don't know as yet if it's been successful.
