create subfolder with
serial number (<serial>)
If checked, the transfer process creates a sub-folder with the system’s
serial number on the USB drive. This is useful if you are using the same
drive to collect recordings from multiple systems and want to know which
system they came from.
create subfolder for each
channel
If checked, the transfer process creates a sub-folder for each channel and
recorder (within the subfolder for the serial number, if that option is also
selected). Files are copied to their respective folders.
remove after copying
If checked, the file(s) are removed after being copied to the USB drive.
Checking this box makes the transfer a move instead of a copy.
mark file as downloaded If checked, the files that are downloaded are marked with a downloaded
icon when viewing file lists. This has no effect if remove after copying is
checked.

downloaded files

downloaded are not included in subsequent downloads.
