One little niggle I am noticing with canon, and can I do anything to change it???

Shooting in RAW ... I am getting annoyed at the file structure on the card.

Folders of 100 files !!!

Any way to get all the files just to go into one folder ???

Reason is when Iam offloading from the cards to the computer I have to open each folder and transfer 100 files at a time, and this is somewhat annoying ...

Is there a customs setting somewhere as I cannot see it ??

Using a Canon 20D and a Ultra III CF Card

TIA

I don't know of a way to change the stupid file structure, but some software deals with it - I think the stuff that comes with the camera does; Rawshooter, which Gary and I use, can read all the files from the top level and loads them all into one directory with no problems...

I agree - its a rubbish system (Fuji is much better).

A lot of people swear by this:
