Thank you, Ron. I wasn't familiar with jhead. Really neat. You're right, there's nothing as powerful as the command line. Perhaps it's silly, but transferring pictures is such a common task, that the least you have to do, the better. By that, I mean plug in the camera - get things done according to pre-configured settings and minimal user interaction - unplug the camera. I could write a bash script like you suggested, but if there's a program that does that, why re-invent the wheel? :-) (But don't get me wrong, I liked your suggestion!)
