Hi,

I've noticed that ever since I got my 5D, Downloader Pro has been naming my files _MG_1111.CR2 (for instance). It puts the first char as '_'. Anyone know why? I'm using DP 1.8.1 with Windows XP.

Thanks,
David

This is the standard naming scheme which has been agreed by the camera manufacturers for images shot in AdobeRGB colorspace (i.e. prefixing the filename with _). If you set the download filename to IMG_%r instead of %o DLPro will name the files IMG_0001.CR2, IMG_0002.CR2 etc.

Also, if you switch the colorspace to sRGB in the camera, the filenames will begin with IMG. There's lots of ramifications to this, obviously.
