Good Windows 10 Image Importer

[WoctorDho]

So I need your help finding a good program that can import images from a camera / cellphone. I am disappointed with the way that the default Windows 10 image importer works and am having trouble finding a good alternative. Here is what I need it to do:

1. It will be importing from an android phone, camera, or SD card. 
2. It must work on Windows 10.
3. I need to be able to put the photos in one specified folder and videos in another specified folder.
4. It needs to be able to sort photos by date in sub-folders in the previously specified location. Same for the videos.
5. Optional: automatic naming of each photo/video as imported in a standardized way. 

 

Thank you in advance for your time.

... but I think there would be a much better way to do this. This would be something that I would use for years. It sure would save me a lot of time if there was an automated way to do it. 

 

In my mind this would be a fairly simple thing to program; I would think there would be something already out there that would be out there that could do this. Thoughts?

yeah its called creating a shortcut on your desktop that will take you directly to the photos folder on each device when its plugged in.

Unfortunately I think he's right. You could MAKE a program like this, though I haven't the faintest idea what language would be the best

Ive done a lot of googling around for something that would do this for me. After looking one more time and hearing what you guys have said, I think I have given up. If no one else replies, I may have found a project for me to work on sometime this summer.

I bought a license back when it was still in the 1.x version, and use it in conjunction with the Adobe LightRoom 6 import process.

Because I use Lightroom, I don't have a need for the import capability from a folder, but you can use it for that by selecting your mobile device.
