=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<Rapid Photo Downloader> imports photos and videos from cameras, phones,
memory cards and other devices at high speed. It can be configured to
rename photos and videos with meaningful filenames you specify. It can also
back up photos and videos as they are downloaded. It downloads from and backs
up to multiple devices simultaneously.
Unique to Rapid Photo Downloader is its Timeline, which groups photos and
videos based on how much time elapsed between consecutive shots. Use it to
identify photos and videos taken at different periods in a single day or
over consecutive days.
Files are downloaded from two different types of sources: (1) one or more
automatically detected devices like cameras, phones, memory cards, and external
drives; and (2) a single manually specified path, shown in the user interface as
"This Computer".
=head1 PATH
Optional value that when specified, is parsed to determine if it represents an
automatically detected device or a path on this computer.
If the path represents an automatically detected device, automatic detection of
devices is turned on, as in the B<--auto-detect> option. Furthermore, downloading from a manually
specified path as in the B<--this-computer-location> option is turned off.
Otherwise, the path is assumed to be a manually specified path as in the
B<--this-computer-location> option, in which case downloading from this computer is turned on
and downloading from automatically detected devices is turned off.
