hi all, just gone onto my laptop to sort through some more pictures and when i load up a folder to view the raw files are not there? All the photos are there but the raw photos are not. They have always been there before. Its not like its just one folder its all of them. ive even put my card from my camera in and that doesnt show the raw files yet my camera is set to raw? any ideas?

cheers

If you know the extension of your RAW files (.NEF, .cr2 or else) make a search!
 
Sounds like you may have somehow inadvertently excluded the file extension of the RAW files from being displayed. Assuming you are using Windows then go Start>Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>Folder Options. Click on Advanced settings and then click on Show Hidden Files and Folders.
 
have you scrolled down to the bottom of the folder, if you have the sort by set to by type the jpegs will display first and the raws below
 
Hi thanks for the replies everything is set to show hidden files and folders and the raw files are not at the bottom of the folder. Not sure what has changed as up until a few days ago the raw file was always next to the jpeg file...

Plus daft question, when you say you cannot view them (as photos) do you mean that the files are there but the thumbnails are not?
 
Screenshot may help.

It may be that you have sorted the folder by size, rather than by name?
