Sounds good so far, that's a lot more than the dc210 wizard from Aminet can
do. Being able to download thumbnails is especially welcome.

How about adding the ability to upload those BMP frame template thingy's to
the camera (can't remember what they're called atm). Maybe also displaying
the info in the JPEG-EXIF header like the time/date the picture was taken and
picture number?
Another option that I'm sure would be welcome would be an ARexx port.

That's what I use, works fine provided you can remember the picture number if
you only want to download one or two.

Excellent, thanks for that I look forward to seeing it when you're ready. .
