p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · LR 6 import question


So I have 2 USB 3.0 external hd's attached to my Macbook. I have a folder called WeddingRated on one of them and on my desktop I have a folder called WeddingRated but even though I can see it there in Finder LR will not allow me to import the desktop folder. Why? Is there some setting I am missing in LR? It's driving me nuts I tell you!

can't say for sure (I'll test later) but I don't think LR allows you to import to a folder on your DESKTOP .

yeah I know now . I just tested it (wasn't at my LR comp this morning .) thought I remembered something about not being able to see the desktop .

I just ran a test again and can't seem to get it to reject the same name folder in 2 places .

I put a 'test 1' folder on my image drive and also on my desktop and I could import the same images to both of those folders.

still may be worth changing the name of 1 of those folders though

I feel like a dumbo...I chose the Import Dialog box before importing and apparently I did not have "Don't Import Suspected Duplicates" box unchecked! doh!
