Since my recent defection to the side of the turtleneck jumper and cups of java, I'm having trouble picking out some decent software.
On the PC I used Breeze Systems Downloader Pro to copy the shots off my CF cards.
I would put the card in the drive, and fire it up. It would ask me for a name, which I gave it "eg, Shooting in Wales"
It would then create a folder at a location of my choosing, called "08.21 Shooting in Wales"
In there it would put all the shots from my card, renaming them to 080821_####.cr2" (the #### being the original shot number)
I could the hit the 'delete' button and it would wipe the card for me (only deleting the shots it had downloaded).
Now can I find something as similar and simple for the mac? Nope. DL Pro isn't available for OSX, with no plans to make one.
I tried ImageIngester, but I can't seem to get it set up right, it just seems so overly fussy and complicated.
I just need the folder creation, and the renaming of files, then the deletion of images.
I've tried the downloader with Bridge, and that didn't have the renaming convention that I wanted (they forced 4 digit years etc).
I also tried the Lightroom downloader and it was also limited (plus I dont always want to import into Lightroom straight away)
Any thoughts?
