I dont know how many other people hate the fact that Canon (and probably other manufactures) have a directory structure in their cameras that sub divides your images into separate folders each time the counter rolls over a 100. This makes it more time consuming and difficult to download your pictures via a card reader to your pc, often resulting in you having to open several folders to copy all your images.
I have been looking around for an application that would aid in this process, there is an excellent program called Downloader Professional that combats this and many other issues but it of course costs.
Me being me I decided to continue my search and today stumbled across a free program called DIM4 that does everything I wanted. Hopefully it will help out some of you guys too.
This is what it says on the site..
For more information, a manual, instructions for setup etc and off course the download, go here
Hope that helps

DIM4 handles the copying of images from your digital camera's memory card to your computer.
If you take more than just a few pictures with your digital camera, you will quickly realize that you will need to come up with some sort of organization scheme for the hundreds (and eventually thousands) of digital image files that you will accumulate. Once you come up with this scheme, you will want to be able to quickly and automatically get the files onto the appropriate directories on your hard drive. That is where DIM comes in.
DIM only does one thing, but it does it well: it copies files from your cameras memory card to a destination directory determined by your storage scheme. If any directories need to be created in the process, it will create them. In addition, the file can be renamed while it is copied to a more useful name than your camera might have provided.
DIM does not provide for browsing, viewing, modifying, adjusting, printing or any of the other functions of the many fine image browsing and processing programs that are available.
DIM is a 100% pure Java application. As such, it should run on any reasonable system with Java runtime support (e.g. Mac, PC, Linux, etc.)
