Hi,

I don't know if this is known and/or a bug or a feature:
files shot between 00:00:00am and 00:59:59am are put to the directory of the day BEFORE the current day--so apparently a day starts at 01:00am for DL Pro. Any ideas how to set the date correct or is this a little bug??

Regards,
Michael

I can't reproduce the problem on my system: I set the camera clock (350D) to 00:04 and took a few shots and then downloaded using a direct camera connection and then with a card reader. In both cases the date was correct using the %d and %D tokens with the computer set to GMT+DST and GMT+1+DST.
There are some bugs and inconsistencies in the Canon SDK when downloading from some of the older PowerShot cameras which makes it difficult to know whether the time is reported in GMT or your local time zone. There shouldn't be any problems if you use a card reader.
