Autoimporter has gone AWOL

I have my iMac set up so that plugging in a camera put pictures into a new & dated folder.
I set it up with Autoimporter which is an Apple application and came with the OS and seems to work through Image capture where it is a setting.
I wish to change its Preferences but although it opens as it should I am blowed if I can find it anywhere. It used to be part of Image Capture Support.
Was it moved when I installed Lion I wonder?
Does anyone know where it might be?

Mark,
Might it be Image Capture which you seek? From your description, it seems not unlikely.

I found it Steve - thanks anyway - I wasn't looking in the right place. This is where it is and always was!
In the Finder, navigate into the top-level System folder, then drill down into Library -> Image Capture -> Support -> Application.
Using it one can determine [within narrow limits] the names & date of subfolders for each import, and if one wants the items deleted from the camera after import.
