In copying my Edited Photos folder to my working external hard drive (the one which Lightroom will reference to after I import) I noticed a Sub folder of my Edited Photos “Retouch” has in it, right along with the photo folders, a folder named “thumbs.db.” This file is a unix Executable File. I guess this is a thumbnail reference to all the photos in Retouch. The other Sub folder in Edited Photos “Transport” does not have a thumbs.db file in it, just the individual photo folders. I’m pretty sure Lightroom knows what to do with this, but I want to make sure. When I import the individual photo folders in Retouch and Transport will this unix file in Retouch be used for 1st import previews, ignored, or get in the way? I don’t want to hurt my imports having this unix file in the same parent folder as the picture folders I am going to import.
Second question: Is it safer, for Lightroom to import photo folders one by one, or import far more folders and pictures by just importing the parent folder?
Thank You Very Much for any help. It's like I think I know, but I'm not 100% sure. One time I thought I knew about my camera, but I thought I would call anyway. I was wrong! I'll never forget that! So thank you for any help,
Sandy
