So you saw my list of updates I wanted to make to this little application I assume, if not, my want list is:

• The ability to separate RAW and JPG files into separated folders if you shoot in RAW+JPG modes.
• The ability to save your previous source and destination folders
• pre-populate the new folder name with the date/time formatted how you want
• Removing the status text and using a progress bar with a label to indicate the current action
• add a preview box so you can view the photos being transferred
• add a cancel button to stop the process

I got some of my updates in so I am posting a new version for your downloading pleasure, unfortunately I didn’t get everything in so there is still no separating RAW and JPGs into different folders and I haven’t added the prepopulate date/time to the new folder dialog but the updates are:

• Different UI Look to support images and progress
• Ability to cancel an operation in progress
• Ability to save and clear your source, work and archive locations
• JPGs being transferred are previewed during transfer
• Progress is tracked on a folder per folder basis
• Status displays current folder being copied and destination
• Fixed Recursive Delete Functionality

Here is a little screen shot of how it looks now, slightly different than the previous version.

As before the source and executables are available for download:

• Visual Studio 2008 Project
• Zipped Executable

Here are some ideas for the next dev sit-down for my Photo Transfer application, please give me your thoughts on which ones are valid, which ones aren’t and what I am missing…

• The ability to separate RAW and JPG files into separated folders if you shoot in RAW+JPG modes.
• The ability to save your previous source and destination folders
• pre-populate the new folder name with the date/time formatted how you want
• Removing the status text and using a progress bar with a label to indicate the current action
• add a preview box so you can view the photos being transferred
• add a cancel button to stop the process

Those are my current tweaks I will add next, I have decided to make this an interesting project. I am going to build this application from the genesis yesterday and the resulting code I banged out last night, and blog each iteration as well as my comments, thoughts and ideas, and then when this project is done, or at least at a full version number, you can see the entire development lifecycle chronicled and see how it changes from concept to completion.
