when using downloader pro, I would like to rename to the date taken, which is in the exif header, rather than the file date (date modified). Is there a way to do that?
thanks,

There is an option in the 'General' tab of preferences to make the file time stamp the same as the image capture time. DL Pro Help explains it quite well:
'By default Downloader Pro uses the file timestamp for date and time information but this can be different from the image capture time when taking long continuous sequences of images because some cameras set the file's timestamp to the time the image was written to the memory card not the time the image was taken. Select the "Use image capture time for file timestamp" to avoid this problem when downloading from a card reader or directly from a camera. When this option is selected Downloader Pro will read the image capture time from the image's shooting data and use it for the timestamp. This option can be slower than using the file's timestamp.'
I hope that this does what you need.
