Has anyone noticed that when you connect your phone to your computer windows will transfer only the pictures that were not previously transferred but when it comes to videos it will copy them again and created duplicate copies. If you don't delete them from your phone it will continue to create extra copies on your computer. It does not seem to have a problem with pictures though. Does anyone know of a fix for this.
And when it does copy the pictures it also transfers small versions of all the pictures that the phone created. Is there a way to stop it from doing this or copying these small pictures over?
Anyone had any luck with the Windows import tool in Vista?

I recently setup Activesync to sync files but i really only wanted it to sync a single Word Document file in My Documents on my Vario.
When it syncs it syncs the whole of the My Documents folder, which is crap cos this contains all my camera photos and videos and I dont want that. is there a way to just do files you want.
I managed to delete the files on my PC and it removed them on my Vario!
Also any new files that appear in My Documents on my Vario get automatically synced!
TIA

That would be difficult. What I suggest would be to move your not-wanting-to-syn files to your storage card or some folder in your root (e.g. not in the My Documents). Yeah, that would cause problems with many of your applications as it will look for My Document first and you would have to go and find your customized folder.
Anyway, you can try this (I didn't try it before). Create a shortcut in your My Documents that point to another folder where you keep all your real files, so that if your app open My Document, it would be easy for you to find that folder. But, still any photo taken by your camera will be still in My Document.
Anyway, there isn't much harm syncing all files. I mean, as long as the files are not changed, the isn't much time consumed in synching them. Better just leave them as they are
UPDATE:
For camera, see this

How to I make the exported pictures from my computer to my phone be kept at the original resolutions? Them seem to become thumbnails when I look at them in my Album.
I converted some TV's shows (Deep Space 9). Yes I am a geek. And now every time I sync to my computer it wants to save all those videos to my computer. I also copied some other files over that I don't want to be synced every time. Is there a way to control what is synced and what is not?
What are you using to sync to your PC with?
The built in Windows Vista sync for photos and videos.
Or is there a directory where you can hide the files so windows won't see it? Somehow it finds every picture and video.
I have a problem with syncing using kies.
i picked folders from my pc for music, pictures and videos i want to sync automatically with my sgs2.
there are several subfolders in either of those categories, but on the phone, the music just all gets copied to the /media/ folder, without subfolders and pictures and videos go to /DCIM/Camera without subfolders.
is there any way to get to sync my folders on the pc with specific folders on the phone? i'd like to keep my pictures separated from the videos and in their respective sub folders. pics from my pc don't belong in the camera folder. the same goes for the music. i want to separate albums and especially audiobooks in their respective folders.
surely there must be settings for this kind of things, but i just can't find anything and i don't want to copy everything back and forth manually every day, just so that new items get copied, especially since the phone does not fully behave like a drive on windows7, either i overwrite the entire folder, or no items will be copied, which is annoying.
When connecting my Note 3 to my PC to import pics using camera (PTP)..i imported about 1,300 images but only about 700 were pictures i'd taken, i have hundreds of small images i've never even seen before that i'm assuming are image's from app's etc?!
Is there a way of just importing pic's i've taken? Or do i have to sift thru everything that Windows find's each time i import?
Thanks.
