How to exclude .lnk shortcut from reading by Digicam?

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi Василий Васин,

Alternative to test:

Go to Setup/View/MimeType and add "-.lnk" in the images section to see if
the lnk files are properly excluded from the database.

If yes please give me feedback.

Best regards

Gilles Caulier
