Ingest - file count
« on: December 15, 2008, 06:37:14 AM »
I really like the ingest of PM, but after ingesting from a memory card I always feel a bit insecure....was all the images really copied OK????

I would like at least a file count to display upon completion. Then I can check nr of iomages on the card in the camera before formatting it.

Another (perhaps geeky) but useful feature would be a transfer speed indicator. It could shows how good (or bad) your card reader is, coupled with the brand/type of card you are using. I know Rob Galbraith has lots of data on this, but it would be nice to know which card readers work best with the computer you own. A countdown timer (estimated time to finish ingest) would also be useful.

Cheers!

Here's another vote for the file count. To be extra useful it could perhaps take the following form:
Transferred: x of y files (z already transferred)
The blue part should only be shown if there is an incremental ingest in place.

Other forms are possible as well of course  ;)

The transfer speed indicator as Ed Wolfstein suggested would be nice to have too  :D

File count would be good,  but what if a transfer speed indicator would slow down the transfer itself?
