Happy Holiday's : I am about to download the trial ver. of Downloader Pro. I have a couple of questions.
1. Shooting weddings 2 cameras (20D - 10D) ^ 6-1 gig cards Raw - Would like to download all six card 3 from each camera and have them go into one folder. In the order they were taken? If so I'll just buy the program. bob PS I just bought BB Pro
Should have bought them together. bob

Probably, you will need to use date and time "tokens", plus a few others. (A token is a symbol which is substituted by other current-image values during download.

%J for "job code" for the name of the folder. eg "SmithJones".

%d:%t-%n4-%R gives a file name of yymmdd:hhmmss-0001-1.

%n4 avoids duplicate file names arising from continuous mode shooting at say 3 frames per sec.

%R gives a unique memory card batch number to avoid duplicates due to two operators shooting in same second.

Note that if there are same-second shots from two or more cards, they may not sort into exact order.

To make this work correctly, set your computer time to an atomic clock, then connect each camera and reset its time.
