I have been having issues with the SD card reader in my MBP. It works, but only when it feels like it. I used to pop a card in, wait a second, and it would appear on the desktop. Now, that rarely happens. I have to open and close Photos a couple times then pop the card in with Photos open. Then, and only then, do I stand a chance of having the card appear as it should. I found the tip about opening Photos first in a Google search, and it seems to only work intermittently. Once the card is mounted and visible, it works perfectly.

Is there a setting I missed someplace that changes the behavior of the card reader? I don't want to be dependent on the Photos app as I don't use it. I just want the card reader to work like it should... like it used to.
