(Apologies if this feature already exists, but I haven't spotted it so far.)

I like the way that Downloader Pro recognises that it has already downloaded files from a card/camera, but I would also like to be able to mark files as 'Ignore'.

For example, my son's Pentax compact has a number of overlays stored on the SDCard that are used to create frames around subjects when taking photos. When the card is put in my PC, Downloader Pro includes all these JPG files in its list of files and I have to make sure I only select the 'real' photos to download. If I could mark the overlay's as 'Ignore' then it would be easier to deal with the photos.

Mark.

Can the overlays be stored in a different folder on the memory card from the photos? By default Downloader Pro only scans all the subfolders of \DCIM for images and so if you could put the images in a different folder it will ignore them.

They are all in a folder called 'FRAME' on the SD card. Does Downloader Pro only scan the DCIM folder when the camera is connected via USB? In this instance, I have taken the SD card out of the camera and put it into a card reader, and DLP is scanning all folders.

If "Scan whole disk for known image types" is selected in DLPro's preferences it will scan all folders on the memory card for images. If this option is not selected it will only scan subfolders of \DCIM.

Ah - thanks. That does the job just fine. I missed that option in the settings.

Thanks for the help.
