Again, thanks to Dmitri Popov for the heads up regarding using Rapid Photo Downloader for Linux. Photography enthusiasts would love using this because you can download from many sources. Whether you have one or more memory cards on your camera, you could download everything quickly. This is very convenient especially for those who want to share their files as soon as they can. This is so cool!

Rapid Photo Downloader has documentation that is also reader-friendly. It gives you tips on how to get started. It has a practical approach to installing the application. Here are the basic considerations you must have when considering starting to use Rapid Photo Downloader:

  • where you want your images downloaded
  • how you want your images named
  • where to download images from
  • if and how you want your images backed up
  • if you want image filenames to be compatible with other operating systems
  • how you want to handle any image name conflicts or missing backup devices

So you see, your considerations as users of this application are also considered and the documentation guides you through using it. It even has the explanations for the different things that you might have to use/consider when using it. After all, one of the features of Rapid Photo Downloader is that you could generate file names that are descriptive and you could create a filter for them. This way, you could deal with the files as an entire batch that has to be renamed. A great solution to a cumbersome task, right?

Another neat thing about this photo downloading application is that you could have backups of your images while you’re downloading them. And you could also automate tasks if you so wanted them.

I am sure my friends who are aspiring photographers will love this application, especially because of the options they have. Whether they’re using GNOME, KDE, XFCE or something else, this is said to run but because there’s so many out there, you might have to take a shot at using this to confirm it. Now you can be happily clicking your files and so on.
