'Cameras': Customizing OS X Automatic App Launching for Multiple Cameras [Updated]

by

Cameras, a new application for Mac OS X from Flexibits, allows users with multiple cameras to customize OS X's automatic application launches on a camera-by-camera (and even iPhone) basis.

Do you have multiple cameras?
Do you spend time quitting iPhoto every time you connect your iPhone?
Wish you could have your DSLR open Aperture and have iPhoto launch when you connect your point-and-shoot camera?
If so, Cameras is the solution you've been waiting for.

With familiar System Preference functionality, Cameras allows you to manage what happens when you connect your:

- Digital camera
- iPhone
- Digital media reader
- Any photo device

The application also provides the ability to specify whether or not images are automatically downloaded from a given device when it is connected to the user's computer.

Cameras comes with a free 14-day trial period, and a full license is priced at $9.95.

Update: Flexibits has temporarily removed Cameras and will soon be offering the application for free.

Update 2: Cameras is now a free download.
