Maybe you could shed some light on what workflow you are wanting to accomplish...

That method doesn't work well - there's little to no error-checking, there's no easy way other than two separate drags to copy RAWs to one place and JPEGs to another place, there's no mechanism to do intelligent automatic filename modification (to prevent filename collisions).


On my PC, I can tell DownloaderPro to download to W:\Jobs\{J}\Import-{E}\{m}{D}-{T8} and rename to {T8}-{o}, and it'll automatically put the files in a tree that looks like W:\Jobs\RttR-Awards\Import-JPG\1209-50D\50D-IMG_0123.JPG. Control-J allows me to change the job code, and automatically JPGs/RAWs are split, the date is used for hierarchy along with camera model, and the camera model/code is inserted at the beginning of the filename. Images can be losslessly rotated during import, so even basic folder browsing shows pictures that are right-side-up.
