I think you may have misinterpreted what I am trying to do. I do not ever write to a memory card. What I would like to do is to import only the images that I want to keep. So, what I'm looking for is a way to examine the images that are on my memory card, select only the ones I want to keep, and then import those onto my hard drive, placing them into a defined folder structure and renaming them in the process.
This is a common workflow for most raw processing programs. There is nothing dangerous about it. In fact, I could do it easily in Lightroom but I don't like using Lightroom because it forces me to import everything into its catalog. I use a different program for cataloging my images but it doesn't do a great job culling, like Fast Raw Viewer does. I was using FastPictureViewer but have built a new PC and am unable to get it working again because I don't have my license key.
Essentially, I just want to replace FastPictureViewer in my workflow with Fast Raw Viewer. What I was hoping is that it would allow me to put my memory card into my memory card reader, select the images I want to keep, and put them in folders based on the dates they were taken with new filenames.
I have referred to the manual several times but wasn't able to find a way to do this so I thought I'd try the forum.
