New in PTPdrive 3.0 Build 248 (Dec 19, 2012)
- New:
- Support for dual memory card cameras (in Windows Vista or newer) allowing to map each card to a different drive letter simultaneously.
- Support for Windows 8.
- Ability to include original camera's directory name in the picture name format. Having the original directory name allows to replicate the whole camera's directory structure in the mapped drive letter.
- When this feature is used in Windows Vista or newer it also allows to physically delete (empty) folders on the camera's storage card.
- The setup can automatically pre-configure the PTPdrive being installed. This is useful for mass/silent installations where no manual configuration is allowed.
- Changed:
- The PTPdrive mapping application now pre-selects the preferred drive letter (as configured in profiles) whenever a camera selection is made.
- Fixed:
- Error message "Invalid format" showed in the Profile section of the PTPdrive Settings application when selecting a profile which does not have any picture name format set.

New in PTPdrive 2.3 Build 226 (Apr 29, 2011)
- Fixed - Memory leak when taking pictures while camera is still connected to the computer, which resulted in temporary disappearing of the drive content.
- New - Introduced default camera profile. It allows to specify camera parameters for all, previously unused cameras. This is useful when auto-mapping for any camera is desired.
- Fixed - Various bugs in "Profile editor".
- New - Status dialog shows the camera name it relates the message to.

New in PTPdrive 2.2 Build 222 (Apr 5, 2011)
- Support for serial numbers of attached cameras. The Windows can detect camera serial numbers starting with Windows Vista, in older version of Windows camera serial numbers are not working
- Camera profiles allow to specify an alias which gets included in the drive name visible in Windows Explorer. This is useful in combination with camera serial numbers to distinguish multiple cameras of the same type/brand mapped at the same time
- Default "picture taken" time set to the current time instead of using year 1600. This default time gets used when camera does not report the actual time when the picture was taken. Having current time is better than year 1600 when using date in the picture name format
New in PTPdrive 2.1 Build 215 (Feb 21, 2011)
- New:
- Automatic mapping of a connected camera to a drive letter without asking for drive letter (registered version only).
- Camera profiles allowing to customize automatic drive letter mapping as well as the file name format for each camera separately.
- A camera profile gets created automatically once a camera is mapped to a drive letter for the first time. From that time its profile can be edited via 'PTPdrive Settings' application.
- Changed:
- Using WIA camera name instead of WIA camera description as the camera name, to distinguish between two or more same brand cameras connected at the same time.
- As a real life example this change allows to correctly recognize between two exactly same Nokia phones connected at the same time via Bluetooth.
- Fixed:
- Compatibility issue with installing on Windows 7 64-bit.
