I'm downloading my images from a card reader using Image Capture on my Macbook Pro. Eventually they are added to and processed in Lightroom.

Is there a way to automatically rename the file with a prefix with the camera name based on the EXIF?

I have a 20D and a 40D that share cards and will end up duplicating file numbers on the same shoot. Is there a way to automatically add a 20D_ or 40D_ prefix to the files as the yare dowloaded? I know I could do it manually, but I am sometimes unsure of which card the camera came from.

Take a look at Image Ingester Pro, it may do just what you need.
