I use Downloader Pro. I purchased it maybe 10 years ago for $30. Definitely was worth it.
My copy is set up so when a card is attached to the computer, the program is launched and the card is accessed by the program. I then see a page with thumbnails of the images along with the list of capture dates. I can click on a date and the program selects all the images taken on that date (from the EXIF data on the file). I can then select or deselect other files or dates in the normal way (ctrl-click, shift-click).
I have the preferences set up so that the program asks for a "job code". I give it a short text string describing the subject of the images I have selected. I can then download the selected images from the card. The preferences tell the program to take the job code and use it for the file name and the folder name. For example, if the job code is "Suzie's Birthday Party" all the files are renamed "Suzie's Birthday Party YYYYMMDD HHMMSSss.NEF" (I shoot Nikon raw only). YYYYMMDD is the date, which sorts the same numerically and chronologically. HHMMSSss is the time, hours, minutes, seconds, hundredths of seconds (to allow for my camera's ability to shoot up to 14 frames/second or even 30 frames/second in some modes). The preferences tell the program to copy the renamed files to a folder ../Photos/YYYY/[job code]/RAW (if you shooot jpgs the program will copy to a similar folder .../JPG).
