All of a sudden files of uploaded pics off SD card were going individually at the end of Pictures folder. Could not figure out why - but I've "touched" too many settings to know what I did wrong this time.

Plus the SD card started showing up named GENERIC.

 

(Lightbulb moment this morning with my third cup of coffee!)

 

First time ever with a non-Nikon lens...  My new year's gift to myself was the 18-400 lens. Coincides with my new issues!!

 

How do I manage settings for where they go? I want them to go in a folder together not strung out one by one.....

I upload card through the PHOTOS App and then use Nikon's View-NXi for editing.

 

Using a different method to upload sd card onto Dell laptop perhaps?

I don’t see the lens used impacting on your photo library, as photolibraries are typically sorted by criteria.

So, unless if the library allows to sort by lens (in that case the T of Tamron would follow any N for Nikon) however I don’t know your Photos app, so don’t know if the app allows for such sorting.

When I copy files from a memory card I do the whole process manually, using the Finder(Mac OSX) (which correspondents to the Fileexplorer on Windows) to copy from one location to another, before editing.

I have never seen the name of the image change due to a lens change.  

 

Use a card reader and copy off the card reader onto the computer as Jerry suggested.  You can also check your settings in the menu for the image name / numbering section to see if you modified that....
