I have a Canon 1DMk2 and XP. How do I get DLPro to download one card and rename the images to the unique job name and then carry on the number and name sequence for the second card from the same job. I can do the first part but then DLPro won't let me download from the second card, I have to go into Windows, drag and drop then rename in Photoshop.
The Camera is set to auto-reset when a new card is inserted - could this be the problem?

Downloader Pro can't continue the numbering on the second card because it can't keep track of images that have already been downloaded.
You could either set the camera to use continuous numbering or, with Canon 1D series cameras and Nikon DSLRs, make use of the camera's shutter activation count (token=%r8) to ensure unique, continuous file numbers.

Kev you will almost certainly make your life easier by setting your camera for continuous numbering.
