Well, one reason I use gtkam is that I can rename the pics as it transfers them over. I date code mine and sometimes add other hints to the name. If I just copy them over from the card reader, it uses the same name as the camera uses and that doesn't let me keep track as I like too. I may see if digikam will import from the card reader thingy tho. That *may* work. Still prefer to plug in my camera tho. Thanks. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
