Moose,
What Ken is saying is that he worked at the Government facility that implanted
a device in your head, and now reads all your thoughts.

You guys honestly hand copy from the cards? I wouldn't rely on me to get that
right every time.
I know there are several programs that do the copying, and the keeping track,
automagically. I happen to use PIE, free
version. In addition to it's very useful EXIF displays, it has a lovely
download function.
I stick the card in a slot on the computer or the USB 3.0 reader, PIE pops up,
I select which camera it's from, and PIE
copies the files to date named folders under the proper camera folder, with
automatic sub-folders for video, whatever.
It then switches the archive bit in the card directory, so each time, it knows
just which files are new.
I've been using it for years, and it's been perfect. Far better than I may be
on a bleary/tired/distracted day.
I then, often later, have LR sync catalog the new files.
Simple, reliable, free - what's not to like?
Down Right Moose
