Well I'd better contribute late in the thread than never.
I have been using GPhoto2 with my Canon for a couple of
weeks now and it works a treat. Haven't tried the GUI app
as it was easy enough to create a pop-up menu item "drain camera".
>From what I can see, it seems to support just about everything,
even the "Barbie" digital camera that ships with some Barbies.
I wouldn't mind trying Tridge's script before my own one gets Baroque. :o)

Woohoo!
gphoto2 -P does exactly what I need...
Still interested in the script though.
Time for the windows box to go back in to hibernation :-)
Cheers,
