Photos/videos saving twice

Hi,
Is there a way I can disable this feature?
When importing media to my pc I have to go through everything,
Pictures save as jpegs and dsc's.
I would like to set it up so everything gets saved on my memory card.
Kind regards
Paul

Aliasnotneeded, just a reminder. Using the Album application will generate again the thumbnails which are safe to be deleted. You don't need to format the card next time. Using a file explorer, from time to time, go in the hidden folder .thumbnails and delete all the picture you see there.

Again, as a reminder... the thumbnails will be regenerated again and if you delete them the Album app will be slow during the recreation process.

To add, what about my movies? They save as mov and mp4.

I have the same issue which a lot of thumbnail files been imported together with photos into PC. It was quite waste of time to do deleting in PC. Is there a way to avoid import the thumbails files?
And, I noticed that the name location of the photos doesn't automatically shown as part of the photo file name when import into PC. Is there a way to capture the name location of where is the photo taken automatically as file name when import into PC?
