Alternative to Photo app - Using galaxy S8

zpoison · 20 Apr 2020

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S8 to get a good quality camera to take pictures for ebay....
Windows 10 photo app import of pictures is absolutely trash

With my previous camera and previous windows, I used a USB stick, SD card in it and it was very easy

I used to just plug the SD card into a USB stick and the import picture was running automatically and even deleted the picture after import...

Now what I get is a particulary SLOW photo app (my PC is not that slow) , and no option to delete after import...

This is absolute trash
Is there a alternative to photo app? Something that would be as good as it was back in win7, to import pictures

Please help
Windows 10 Pro 64 bits

I doubt very much the slow transfer speeds have anything to app itself.

Also, not all apps delete on import, and this can be a good thing as ex: if something happens during import, your source files are still there. Example of a professional app not doing this is Adobe's Lightroom which has no delete on import setting. On the other hand Nikon's ViewNX2 does support a delete on import feature but you have to tell it to do so.

For me, I just leave the files on the card until the card fills then wipe it.
