Hello,

Sorry to wasting your precious time ;-)

You're almost correct.
The solution you propose is indeed the best if my needs would be 
download only raw or only jpeg.

BUT

That's not what I need.

let me give you a sample:

let's assume My card contains

IMG_0002.JPG   --> I want it ( because there's no matching CR2 )
IMG_0003.CR2  --> I want it ( because it's a RAW)
IMG_0003.JPG   --> I DO NOT want it ( because I have the matching CR2)
IMG_0004.CR2  --> I want it ( because it's a RAW)
IMG_0005.JPG  -->  I want it ( because there's no matching CR2 )

IMG_0003.JPG must not go into my archive.


IMG_0002 has been shot in "Basic zone "  ( manual page 20 )
IMG_0003 has been shot in "Creative zone" (manual page 20 )

See manual page 62 for info about the RAW + JPEG shoting mode

Please check Canon 400D Xti manual

Sorry to bother you, but I think that giving you pointer to my camera 
operation manual is the simplest way to let you understand my needs....

Kind regards,
Etienne

PS: I tried  modify the copyfiles.py module to adapt it. but I have 
still have issues with the backup part. Maybe modifying the scan.py to 
ignore
the files I don't need would be better.
