Hi there,
Long time reader, first time posting.
Like many, I use Lightroom Classic to manage a central source of all photos, but also am embedded into the Apple eco system and a happy snapper on the phone. I feel that I have a workflow that suits me surrounded but there is just one last bit missing.
Some background points of note:
Workflow so far:
Sounds ok so far, right?
Now I'd like to move them to my local folders, removing them from the sync collection
I know I can just drag them but I'd really like to apply my import profile rather than having to drag manually to each appropriate date folder
Best option I can see so far is to copy the long named folder out of Mobile Downloads.Irdata and import from that, then delete photos from the Imported photos collection
Any ideas on a better way? If I just moved the files to a temp local folder within Lightroom, is there a way of applying that import profile to a folder?
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Lee

Some background points of note:
- I'm a Mac user
- Normally I import my photos into custom folders based on date (down to the day) and also rename the files (I'd like to continue this process for all photos)
- I have optimised storage turned on for my iOS devices (so I can't assume a cable connected photo import will have the full image)
- I don't really want to clear the iOS photos when I import as I still sometime consume from there.
- I just have the 20Gb storage plan
Workflow so far:
- I plan to do the once-off Mac photos import to grab the backlog of photos (Mac photos app has full size versions)
- I have setup Lightroom for iOS to automatically Add new photos from my iOS camera roll to a catalogue
- Full size images will appear within Imported Photos in Lightroom Classic
Sounds ok so far, right?
