Gonz - I use DownloaderPro by Breeze Systems. Using the plug-ins provided with the software here's what it will do...download the originals, whether pef or jpg, and put them in a primary directory, convert the pef's to dng's and put them in whatever directory you specify (assuming you have DNG Converter installed), create copies of all the originals on the card and put them in a backup directory - you can specify both a primary and a secondary backup directory. You can try it free for 30 days to see if it's what you want.
There's also an SDK available that will let you write more plug-ins in C++. http://www.breezesys.com/ -p Gonz wrote: > I want to automate my backup/conversion flow, and I dont know if you > guys have ever run across any tools that do this.
