+Rapid Photo Downloader is written by a photographer for professional and amateur
+photographers. Released under the GNU GPL license, it is designed for use on the
+Linux Desktop. It can download photos from multiple cameras, memory cards, and
+Portable Storage Devices simultaneously. It provides many options for subfolder
+creation, image renaming and backup.
+
+It can download images directly from only from those cameras supported by
+libgphoto2, and only on recent Linux distributions (those that contain gvfs).
+This support is experimental. Some cameras do not work. If you cannot browse the 
+camera's contents in a file manager (e.g. Nautilus), the camera download will
+not work until the gvfs support is improved.
+
+If you can put your camera into PTP mode, you may find it works a lot better.
+
+Cameras that do not work when not in PTP mode as at May 2009 include the
+Canon 20D and 300D.
