Hi,

It should be downloading ORF files. The presence of the temporary directory
indicates a crash in the download thread. Could you please run the program
from the command line, with the verbose option, and see what the output is?

I'm sorry I don't understand the question about the year directory.

So you also had a problem with F-Spot and the exif dates? I don't use F-Spot
anymore. It somehow corrupted one or more exif fields in my image
collection. Maybe they fixed the bug but that did not inspire my confidence
in it.

Damon
