DIM: Digital Image Mover Alternatives

DIM: Digital Image Mover

DIM handles the copying of images from your digital camera's memory card or from your cellphone to your computer. If you take more than just a few pictures with your digital camera, you will quickly realize that you will need to come up with some sort of organization scheme for the hundreds (and eventually thousands) of digital image files that you will accumulate. Once you come up with this scheme, you will want to be able to quickly and automatically get the files onto the appropriate directories on your hard drive. That is where DIM comes in. DIM only does one thing, but it does it well: it copies files from your camera’s memory card to a destination directory determined by your storage scheme. If any directories need to be created in the process, it will create them. In addition, the file can be renamed while it is copied to a more “useful” name than your camera might have provided. DIM does not provide for browsing, viewing, modifying, adjusting, printing or any of the other functions of the many fine image browsing and processing programs that are available.
