1  Mike's Software / FlashPipe / Re: FlashPipe v2010.120 released: discuss here on: April 28, 2010, 11:25:39 PM
Apologies if this is the wrong spot for my post, but I am using v2010.120 so here goes...

I am running FP on a reasonable rig - quad core i7 920 cpu with 6GB triple channel ram and 1TB Raid 10 disks. The OS is W7 Pro 64bit. Inspite of this when FP starts copying, I can't even move its window!

I would also like to have a PAUSE and an ABORT button.
A way of setting priority.
Manually choose ANY source folder

Plus it seems to not register my Sony Digicam as a file source, but sometimes picks up my C: drive Pictures folder (as source!). This happens if the digicam is usb connecting its hard drive. If it is connecting its flash memory then FP recognises it.

Thanks for a great tool, never the less. I use it after every shoot.

LOL. It hung once - that's all.

  • I would like to request FP to be multi threaded, so that it can respond to button clicks while it is processing.
  • I would like to have a STOP and a PAUSE/RESUME button
  • Trace log would be nice, so that when things bomb out I can tell what was done and what caused the problem
  • NO OVERWRITE would also be handy, in case I need to restart a job, but don't want to re-copy gigabytes of stuff that was already done. This may need a bit of planning as it must take into account the excellent renaming option.

Big thank you for this tool. It is so very useful to me. BTW, I personally do not use the raw processing part only the file transferring components, as I prefer to do my "development" using either Lightroom or DXO.

Just a tip for Kaspersky Internet Security users: I recommend setting FP as an Exclusion App, so that KIS doesn scan every one of the hundreds of huge photo files as they are copied.

FlashPipe file renaming and folder naming has moved on since Sept 2009  Smiley
See attached screen snaps of current options, are these adequate for you use or can you change your approach to synchronise with the given options?
Terry.
Thanks Terry. I've dowloaded the eval and found Nirvana Smiley and bought a license straight away.

Hi Guys,
like the concept behind flash pipe.

I store my photos in folders based on shooting date. I might use a card for a couple of days seeing the card these days hold so many shots. Also I might not be in a position to copy them off the media.

My file structure while repetitive I find very useful. I have tried other structures and ended up loosing a number of photos. Due to software changes over the years I have to very similar formats.

yyyy->month->yyyy-mm-dd (or yyyy_mm_dd).

Request
A new file create option of shooting date.

Thank you
Ian M
I am also looking for this feature. IN fact that is the ONLY feature that I need right now, as I am very happy doing my raw processing in either Lightroom or DXO - both of which I've already licensed. I have backup programs also, such as SyncbackPro, but none so far can store files based on their CREATE date! If you had that in Flash Pipe it would be enough for me to purchase it. (I think that the old Canon Zoom Browser did something like this, but doubt if it would copy my Nikon raw files or Sony videos).

Thanks,
Paul
