Dan, it might not have been obvious from my earlier post but you can use a variant of those commands to start any program you like, in your case Photo Downloader.
You need the full path name of the program. Since you have an alias you can probably copy the path from Get Info there. Otherwise, the best way to find it is from the command line. Here’s what it is on my system:
/Applications/Adobe Bridge CS6/Adobe Bridge CS6.app/Contents/MacOS/Photo Downloader.app
Then, to make it start as the default image uploader, the command would be
defaults -currentHost write com.apple.ImageCapture2 HotPlugActionPath "/Applications/Adobe Bridge CS6/Adobe Bridge CS6.app/Contents/MacOS/Photo Downloader.app"
The double quotes are necessary because there are spaces in the file name. The command must be all on the one line.
This gets around any limitations or bugs in the Image Capture preferences window.
I stopped using Photo Downloader years ago when I saw its timezone bugs, but back then I did used to start it from an alias in the Dock. Maybe Adobe changed it so you can’t any more. Or maybe you’ve accidentally made an alias to some old, not fully functioning, copy of it on your system.
I found its path using "cd", "ls" and "pwd" commands in Terminal. "cd" changes the "working" directory, "ls" lists the files there, and "pwd" prints the working directory (bear in mind these go back to 1978, so "print" now means "show in Terminal’s window"). As before, you need to put quotes around any path with spaces in it. Be very careful at the command line, as you can wipe out thousands of files with a single typo!
For example:
cd "/Applications/Bridge CS6"
ls
cd "Bridge CS6.app"
etc.
