I have twice shot a job that used 2 CF cards with a Nikon D2Hs camera. In both cases when I inserted the 2nd card into the DL ProI saw that the file sizes are different and DL Pro would not download the 2nd card.

I then went to Nikon software and downloaded the second flash card.

Help or suggestions.

You will get this message if the images on the two cards have the same filenames and you're using the default filename setting of %o in Downloader Pro. Some cameras can be set to continuous numbering or to reset the image numbering to 0001 when an empty card is inserted. If the image numbers are reset when an empty card is inserted you will get duplicate filenames. You can avoid this problem by setting the camera to use continuous numbering or by changing the download filename in DLPro to include the time e.g. %t_%o.
