Download with back up

[Brianjonesphoto]

I just used Photomachanic for the first time this weekend and it had one feature I really like. You can download to a backup directory similtaniously. Could this be done with the custom button? I don't know what code would be required to give this a try, so I'm looking for some help.

Thanks

Brian, this feature exists in a plug-in. You can download it at:

I have a similar requirement, but the backup plugin does not help me.

I have downloder pro download to N:Originals\%d %J\RAW. I then copy the "%d %J" directory to N:\Working. I would like to build both these folders at once, saving me the copy.

Is this possible?

Why doesn't the backup plug-in work for that?

Right, this is actually VERY easy with the backup plug-in.

In your download folder put your "N:\Originals\%d %J\RAW" string as you are doing now.

In the plug-in, just put the following:

%drive%%dir:Originals=Working%%file%%ext%

This will create an exact duplicate directory structure as your download folder and file names except it will substitute "Working" for "Originals".

Your backup copies will be in: N:\Working\%d %J\RAW.
