Thank You & Feature Reqest: Download from Multiple Dirs

[peejay]

First off, thank you very much nabocorp for an excellent product :D!! You came so close to being THE ONE, but as it is, cam2pc is not very useful for me.

I have a Sony DSC-S85, that can shoot mpeg videos in addition to photos. We use this feature a lot (15 second, high quality snippets of our children growing up).

The problem is, the mpegs are saved in a separate directory (MSSONY) from the jpegs (DCIM). The current Autodownload function of cam2pc cannot download from more than one location. Sure, I can sequentially do the download from the two locations, but this is what I currently do with my existing Windows Explorer interface (in other words, I don't need cam2pc for this).

If cam2pc offered the full automation for multiple directories, that it currently offers for a single directory, it would be a hands-down winner. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed.

Well, I've found my own workaround to this problem. In the path "Tools - Options... - Transfer - Options - "Directory to look for" field, I simply entered the logical drive letter of my camera (for example, E: ). In the Image Downloader Options, select "Let me select the images to transfer". Then, everything runs automatically, EXCEPT that I need to hit the button "Select only images files" right before the download.

I can live with one button press. And as I see from nabocorp responses to more recent questions, version 4.3 will allow wildcards, allowing me to exclude the non-image files (saving me the button press).

Another simple solution would be to put the option "Select only image files" as a checkbox option in the "And then" section of the Image downloader options.

As I said before, a great product, however, a bit disappointing that I needed to find this out myself, when a simple reply from nabocorp would have sufficed. The next time, I may just move on to the next (capable) program instead of trying to solve 'workarounds' myself....

A further point, it's a shame that, in the browser, you can't right-click and drag files to a folder and then get a context menu of option (Copy, Move, etc.), like in Windows Explorer and many other competing products.
