In what way would flipping a little slider break your workflow? 

I put a memory card in my computer then run a script that does many things.  One of those things is deleting images from the memory card after a bit-by-bit compare with the copy made on my photos drive.  The deletion is done in a way that bypasses any .Trashes file that can fill up a drive if not emptied.  The script would not be able to perform the delete if the card were locjed,

I've been using this script since 2009 and see no need to change.  I've had no memory card issues as a result of using my workflow.

Could someone define corrupt for me? Exactly how are the files corrupted? 

In my case the file is unreadable. The file size is as it should be, but no software is able to read it. There is also no thumbnail preview available in the browser and no software can open it (Adobe, Topaz, DXO etc all fail).

My recent dng files are all corrupted thanks to my smart idea of updating to the latest firmware the night before I got a photo collaboration in Beijing. Now how to fix my dng files us beyond me! 
can anyone help?! Please 🙏 

If all the files are corrupt, that could be the card reader, change the reader and/or the cable. Do you download with Photomechanic? It checks the files as they come over. Also next time try formatting the card in 'SD Card Formatter'

Also did you write the DNGs to the internal memory? If so just plug the camera into your laptop direct

Hope that helps

If the file size is correct you can attempt to run the files through Adobe's DNG Converter to make them readable.

If this and all else fails try changing the extension from .DNG to .TIFF .

I tried to open my corrupted ding files shot with Leica m11p on photoscape X proyesterday by accident and to my surprise I could see these pictures but they look so so weired. Then I saved them into png format then I can edit them in photoshop again.

Thank you so much, Douglas! I will try to format my sd cards with sd card formatter as you instructed ! Starting yesterday I decided to save all my photos in internal memory—256GB should be enough for my daily shooting since I am not travelling at the moment.

  1. Plug the camera into your MacBook using a USB cable capable of data transfer.   I mention this as some cables are only good for charging.
  2. Camera Menu page 4.  Select Camera Settings.  Change the USB mode to PTP.  You will be asked to cycle power on your camera.
  3. After cycling power open Photos. You will see LEICA M11 as a device.  Select the device.  Select and import or import all.

If you just want to transfer the images without bringing them into Photos use Image Capture, instead.  Select the destination then click the Download or Download All buttons.

Using the USB cable that came with my iPad (USB-C connector on both ends) the transfer rate is acceptable.

Hope that helps.

Thinking of buying an M11-P, but don't sure if it's a good idea or not. It appears that there is not a pattern to which cameras are affected and why this is happening and not fixed by Leica by now.
I really want to say yes to the M11-P, but I am hesitant about the possible issues I am going to face, if I get one of the faulty ones.

This is just my guess, but I think the new firmware will be released at the same time as the M11D. Therefore, according to rumors, it should be expected in May. Then you should make a purchasing decision. Not too long to wait

I have picked up an M11-P. I have had it freeze once - it was still on a 1.XX.XX firmware. After updating to the newest, no issues so far.

@douglas fry asked if you used SD Card formatter.  I’ll just add that I use that on every card to format it, when I open it new and when I’m done ingesting and backing up.  I have not had trouble with the M11-P and leave credentials on.

So, I am guessing that the use of SD formatting software on the mac allows the hidden directory to start as the first file, negating any trouble of in / out with images still on the card.

Regardless, it is an important issue to let Leica know about so they can work through it before CC is used on additional camera bodies.

Wow. Reading this thread makes me feel incredibly privileged - or lucky!

I have both an M11 and M-11P. In each cameras I use a Sandisk Extreme Pro (300MBS), 64 GB in the M11 and 256 MB in the M11P, to match the internal memory in the cameras. Shoot DNG to Internal first and then SD. I do not shoot JPG.

I insert the SD cards into my MacBook Pro and download photos to my indexing system. (Year, month). I process using Capture One.

I have never had any corrupted files. I always format the cards in the cameras, never use any third part software.

Am I just lucky?
