Okay, this isn't real sophisticated, but it works extremely well for me. I have this script file sitting on my desktop. Before I use it, I right-click and edit the SOURCE path (specifying today's date, since the Epson places everything in a dated folder). Then I save, exit, and then click on it and let it run.
Even if I have shot 17 cards (like today), the above couple of steps are all I have to do. This program will traverse all of the subdirectories (even the ones that Canon makes) and copy all of the files into the TARGET folder.
The TARGET folder is the folder specified on the 2nd line - with the addition of today's date. So, for example, all 2000+ pictures shot today landed in my F:\PICS\NEW\2006-04-08 directory.
Hope this helps...

A new question concering this thing, for those who have it.
How easy is it to change the battery. Is it just open a slot and slide it out, or is it harder that that (scres involved)
Is there an external charger or can you only charge the battery through the system.
can you zoom in on raw files (that is to say the jpg-tag-along file)
what happens if you have a jpg larger than the max resolution size. Does it just display nothing?

- It's easy to change the battery. I carry a spare one with me, it's a good idea.
- I haven't seen an external charger... so as far as I know, you can only charge the battery that is in the system. An external charger would be nice, but so far it has never been a problem for me.
- I have the P-2000 and there is no zoom capability that I'm aware of - was wishing for it just last night. But ... it does display raw files, I love it for that. :-)
- I don't know what the max resolution size is - but I've displayed jpegs as large as 8M. And my raw files are 13-15M in size. |

thanks for the response.
It CAN zoom in on regular jpgs though can't it. I always shoot in raw so it isn't really that important, i just thought i heard that.

Hey, I learned something new today! :-)
I always shoot raw, so I didn't think it had a zoom capability. I just now tried putting a jpeg on it and sure enough ... you click the center of the OK button and it zooms the jpeg. Went back and tried it on a raw file, and it definitely doesn't work on the raw file.

ok thanks :)
can you tell if the raw file is out of focus or not without zooming?... i guess it would be hard to see on the little screen or?

The screen looks ginormeous compared to the one on the back of your camera. :-) But no... there's nothing like putting the picture up on your computer monitor to see if it's really in focus or not. I've had pictures look great on the viewer only to get home and find out they were a bit blurry - enough for me to end up throwing away an image I thought was good. |
