>From "man gphoto2": --filename FILENAME Specify the filename to use when saving downloaded files. The --filename option accepts %a, %A, %b, %B, %d, %H, %k, %I, %l, %j, %m, %M, %S, %y, %%, (see date(1)) and, in addition, %n for the number, %C for the filename suffix, and %f for the filename without suffix. It seems to me that you are only specifying the directory name. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA "It's springtime for Hitler, and Germany..." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
