Re: filename prefixes while transfering images from memory cards

So, to put it in very approximate terms, I am enquiring if my memory
card maybe seen as a camera with an application in the same way as gtkam
sees a camera through the USB port.

Probably not. If it were me, I'd put each group of files into its own directory, then use the rename command, e.g.:

cd ~/cam/wedding
rename 's/^/wedding-/' *.jpg

cd ~/cam/birth
rename 's/^/birth-/' *.jpg

The 'rename' command for Debian is pretty powerful and dangerous. If you want to use it, read the manpage first.
