What you mean a Live Ingest would be? Pre setting the ingest prefferences and PM ingesting the files automatically when the card is enterred without any user interference?

This may sound interresting however I would rarely need a function like this. But can imagine to be needed on an event producing larger amounts of images leaving less time for interracting PM.

I guess it could be useful for 1) tethered studio operation, 2) wireless transmitting of photos (Nikon and Canon wireless transmitters)

In both setups you basically have a "hot" folder into which are falling photos from some source as they are shot.

I can see the benefit of this for studios and agencies with a photo editor on site getting fresh photos from say a football game from several photographers. The Live Ingest would allow them to caption the photos automatically (i.e. filling the Author field for all photographers using code replacement from their cameras serial numbers).

Yes, I can see the usefulness of this, though not for me

Well yes, it can be useful, also for event fotographers.
