jaq1an's Journal: Downloading Photos on Linux

I've been searching for a descent photo downloader/renamer on Linux for the past two years. Most programs like Digikam, gThumb, F-Spot will import photos but they will not allow you to rename them as you want. On windows I used XnView Media Detector, which is okay but a bit slow. Then a lad on the Ubuntu forums pointed me to Rapid Photo Downloader (http://damonlynch.net/rapid/) and it just blew me away. Its extremly fast, can download from multiple cards, flexible renaming options allows you to add medtadata such as the f-stop used etc. This might not be of interest to those using Lightroom etc but for amateurs like myself its a great find.
