Hi Enrique,
Thanks for getting back to me on this.
I am aware of the workaround of using http to transfer, which will transfer large files. With the inability of transferring video and images simultaneously, the task of having to individually download 33 videos last night was....well...frustrating.

For what its worth, the few things that would make this app awesome are:
1) Bug: Fixing the Windows app bug of not being able to transfer large videos
2) Feature: Being able to transfer more than 200 files at a time. Typically, I have 800 plus to transfer (and see (4) below)
3) Bug: Windows app does not remember the backup location. Aargh.
4) Bug/oversight: Do not just overwrite files that have a duplicate file name on download (Windows app). I have had situations when I have transferred 800 files to find only 780. Needle/ haystack.
5) Bug/ Setup issue: "Discover devices" on Windows app is flaky. Sometime it works, sometimes I have to reset the router.
6) Feature: Ability to delete photos from iDevice (iPad/iPhone). Apple seem to have missed this feature in ios7 in any useful way.

Putting this into perspective, I have had my moneys worth out of the app (its not exactly expensive), and it is one of only 3 apps that I have actually paid for.

Either way, I have found an alternative application that seems to do what I need from some initial test runs.

Best of luck, and thanks for the support so far.

Regards,
Sol

Hi,
I have this same issue. Is the bug fixed yet since being reported a year ago? It seems relatively simple to detect a same filename, check some basic info and create a renamed version. I copy photos from 4 different sources to my iPad, some of which have the same naming convention for files.

Along with my other support request (on large files), this is my other main bugbear which makes what I thought was a good app, pretty sub standard.

Regards,
Sol

Hi Amber,
Thanks for the response. You will excuse me if I sound like I'm being rude, but what is behind the response is not really good enough (not your fault). What you seem to be saying is that the app is not capable of handling transfer of large files. Which makes it almost useless to me, as I use my iPad as an editing and organising platform and transfer custom albums at a time (which include pictures, larger and smaller videos). I bought this app to do a job and do it simply.

My ipad has plenty of space on it on this occasion, so thats not the problem. Even if it was, (coming from someone who has been in software Dev for 20 years), this should issue should be raised to the user in some way and handled.

In the past, I have used dropbox to transfer the files this app can't.

This is a bug. Please let me know if its likely to be fixed soon. If not, I will seek an alternative app.

Thanks,
Sol

Do you mean that when you transfer from PC to a named album on my iDevice using PhotoTransfer, the API you use sends a copy to the camera roll? If so, yes I noticed that (and its very odd).
As you ask, I do have another question: When I import photos using an iPad SD card reader from my digital camera (so 'last decade', I know), the photos all get stored in an album called "All Imports" (not Camera Roll). Why does PhotoTransfer not import all files 'via' this album rather than via the Camera Roll to whatever named album I actually wanted in the first place?

Thanks,
Sol

Thanks Amber, that kind of makes sense. What a shame :(

Interesting that there are several versions stored on the iDevice..

Hopefully an API will be available soon.
