Can't see DNG files on Mac

Hi!  I've got CHDK working on my camera (SX280 HS), but when I plug the card into the reader, it only sees JPG files.  I selected the Raw and DNG options, and left the prefixes and extensions as default.  Then I tried changing the prefixes and extensions, but it still only shows JPGs.  (I kept the "with JPG" setting, though, so the files should be in the same folder as the JPGs.) When I'm taking photos, I can see the "DNG" indicator on the screen, so I think it is getting the photos, but I can't find them. 

I have tried searching the forum, but the results are all about not seeing files over USB connection, and I'm actually using the built-in card reader on my Mac.  But I'm fairly techno-oblivious, so this could be an obvious setting that I'm overlooking.  Any help would be appreciated!

If you don't see them with the card reader, I would guess the problem is the DNG files aren't being saved.

What mode are you shooting in? DNG should work in P, M, Av and Tv but might not work in some other modes.

If DNG is being saved, shooting will be noticeably slower than just jpeg.

Switching modes fixed it! I didn't even think of it being a camera setting instead of a CHDK setting.  Thank you!
