Just scant everything without tethering and on the card. That works too
ofcourse, but tethering is a nice option.
I use a fast Sony XQD card reader, so transfering doesn't take too long.

My experiences with tethering using Linux openSuse, and with my Sony and my
Canon and my Fuji, and not just with DT but with other applications left me
unsatisfied.
I find it is slow and drains the batter something awful!
I've completely given up on tethering.
Now I just pop the card into the PC's reader and use my browser to move the
files. The card looks like another disk and the transfer rate is a lot faster
than the serial like of USB cables. I get none of the problems mentioned in
this thread.
I can imagine "out in the field", lacking spacer cards after a days intensive
shooting and having filled what I have, and having no PC and laptop, laving to
'tether' to a portable hard drive to 'unload' the camera. But that is a
completely different use case and doesn't involve DT.
I strongly advise transferring from the card rather than tethering.
The worst case is that you will need a card reader to plug into the USB port on
your PC. You can get on on eBay for under a dollar, less than the cost a USB
cable; Sometimes they come free with SD cards :-)
I'm a proponent of K.I.S.S. If tethering doesn't work for you, if the work-flow
is too awkward, the go with something that does work, that eases the work-flow.
