Downloading photo files from an SD card

I know you can use an sd card connector kit to download images to the newè iPads. A few questions:

My sd card has both a raw and jpeg version of each image, but I only want to download the jpegs. Since I believe the iOS doesn't show file extensions, how can I identify just the jpeg images?

Once on the ipad, where are the photos placed?

Can you create separate folders and place certain images in them?

And if you edit an image and save it as a different file, can I place it in a folder I've created?

Finally, after doing this is there any reason that I can't put the card back in the camera to take and add more photos to the card, to again plug into and download to the iPad?

You may want to download the pics to your computer where you can identify which are jpg and raw.

Then You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.

Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).

Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Thanks Peter and Texas Mac Man:

This answers some, but not all of my questions. T-man, the main reason I'm wanting to know this is so I can view/edit my photos while traveling, not waiting until I'm back home and download them to my computer, hence my detailed questions about using the SD card reader.

Thanks, David.
