Well, one reason I use gtkam is that I can rename the pics as it |
63 |
transfers them over. I date code mine and sometimes add other hints to |
64 |
the name. If I just copy them over from the card reader, it uses the |
65 |
same name as the camera uses and that doesn't let me keep track as I |
66 |
like too. |
67 |
|
68 |
I may see if digikam will import from the card reader thingy tho. That |
69 |
*may* work. Still prefer to plug in my camera tho. |
