@Jeff Arola, the raw thumbnails do draw in the APD when I use a USB card reader on an SDXC card (although video thumbnails do not).  But they don't draw when I connect my (Sony) camera via USB cable.  I use the cable because I don't have a card reader for the CFexpress card.  I'm using Windows 11 but I don't think this behavior was any different with Win 10.

I have a Nikon D7200 as well and never had an issue with the Photo Downloader in the pse 2023 Organizer.

 

The question is what is different on your setup vs what i have?

 

I always the built-in card reader in the computer or an external card reader.

Never hooked the camera directly to the computer.

Windows 10 is the operating system.

. . .  Actually, I may have mispoke.  (It's been a while since I downloaded jpeg/raw files from my camera.)  I happened to have downloaded about 500 files last night and noticed the lack of thumbnails on the raw files but I thought that they were being drawn slowly.  Instead, the problem was that the files were presented in a random order i.e.  jpeg, raw, raw, jpeg, raw, jpeg, jpeg, raw etc.  So, I didn't notice that it was only the raw files that didn't have thumbnails.  In any event, my solution was to download all files and worry about deleting unwanted images after the import.  I think I have complained about this to Adobe before. I will do so again.

I find that you need to wait (sometimes for a long time) for the thumbnails and file data to draw properly.  For me, the easiest solution is to import the files and cull them in the Organizer.  The problem usually occurs when you are importing a large number of files.  The speed of the memory card can also be an issue.

In my previous version PS 13 there was no problems. The same camera, many photos.

 

When  I find a bug, Adobe instead fix it, show another solution like using another software to do something and next import to PS or do somerhing outside PS and then copy to PS.

What version of Windows are you using?

 

Are you using an SD card reader or do you connect the Nikon D7200 directly to the computer?
