Includes a Slide show option and export to Files. Transfer your photos and videos directly to your PC. With this application you can search for Photos taken between dates or at your favourite spot. With the versatile filter configuration you can search on type, date, location or even filename. You can upload everything or just what is missing. With over 40 different filter types you can be quite picky!! The application supports a Step-By-Stepî mode to walk you through configuring server and filter definitions. It also allows you to access all the parameters of the filter and host definition in a simple edit page for host or filter. With this application and our myInotes application which contains an FTP Server you can transfer your photos and videos from iPhone to iPad. The app will sit happily in the background while you do something else and resume transferring your photos and videos when you return to it. Once you have created and used a host and filter combination it is saved so you can access it quickly and you can start a transfer with just two taps. While transferring to an FTP server two progress bars are displayed, one for overall progress and one for individual file progress. We recommend FileZilla as an FTP server, available from https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=server
