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. +Rapid Photo Downloader imports photos and videos from memory cards and other +devices at high speed.
