I tried using dlp trial version. Under download directory I put the following: drive:\ name\%d\%t\%4N\%J (The 4N I may have incorrect here but I had it correct while downloading)
under filename I put %o
I left Job code blank.
then I put in one gig card from a 20D Canon with three folders of images on it and downloaded the images.
When it was done I went to look at the images they were in the correct main foler, but within this folder were three subfolders with individual folders for each image. I sure felt like a numbnuts.
Please help what did I do wrong? :o

The %t in the download directory gives the time the picture was taken and is causing each photo to be downloaded into a separate directory. Also %N4 is the date based download sequence number and will be different for each image.

You might like to try the following settings:

Download directory: drive:\name\%d %J
Filename: %t_%o

You can always check where the files are going to be downloaded by looking at the "Download Path" column in the main window and adjust the settings if necessary.
