I'd like to close out this thread with a few comments. I've spent the last two days reading and/or scanning the manual from start to finish. I now realize that my initial response to your software was due partially to the name given to this program. I believe FastRawViewer is a misnomer. This program is way more than a fast viewer. The processing functionality is very impressive not to mention the ability to customize so much of the interface and functionality. I appreciate what this program can do and will definitely purchase it and continue to use it.
With that said, I would still prefer to have a lighter version of this software dedicated to the purpose of importing and culling raw images. A version that does not allow any changes to the image files themselves. One that strictly allows viewing, analysis, and comparison of raw files with the ability to select keepers and/or reject unwanted files, and then rename and move the files to locations on hard drives into folders and subfolders created and named based on file metadata. Essentially, this would be a small subset of the functionality already existing in FastRawViewer with only a few minor additions/modifications (I know it's easy for me to say) for specifying the destinations to which files could be moved.
Thank you for you replies to my questions and for all of the work that's been put into this program. It truly is great software.
