hi,

i use to download my pictures using a cardreader. i find it very convenient because i can do it faster (drag n drop) and not worry about wearing out the socket in my camera.

when i installed the eos utility from canon, i like the feature of having the option to rename the files automatically (as they are downloaded). in particular, i really find automatically adding the date in the filename very handy and useful.

my question: is there a way to have the file renaming feature of eos utility when downlaoding using a cardreader? or is it possible to run the eos utility with a cardreader?

thanks

You can use software that does batch commands/processing.

hmm...im interested on this as well.i use the cf card reader and am feeling the pain in renaming all of my photos..

Best way to find out is to ask our Canon experts - Tiff Shau or Ann Francisco (from Canon). From what I know, there is none. Reason being that the EOS system is activated by the hardware/camera itself.
