Dragged files from CF card into watched folder, then opened LR
In the watched folder no indication of files being counted -i.e. stayed at zeronad still at zero with no files visible in that folder
However I was initially looking at a file 'archived' when the importing files atarted to appear (not with the 'archived ' files.)
after much toing and froing I find that the LR auto import folder isn't in the watched folder where I had put it, (I know that because there is an LR auto import folder in there with files auto imported previously in) but instead it is outside , and when I check the prefs sure enough it has moved outside the folder I put it in
Did I do that inadvertantly or did it do it itself?
who knows - but it is so confusing for a bear of small brain! bwaaaah!
So I do wish Adobe would
a] change the options in the menu so it is in one CP so you don't forget that you have to additionally 'enable' auto import afte setting it- I mean why would you set it up in the prefs not to enable it? ( OK someone might but why have the 'enable' command other than as a compulsory choice)?
b] supply free Tiger Balm for peeps like me who's brain hurts when using LR (or more seriously make it more fool proof - yes I accept I'm a fool!) A crazy crazy fool:lol:
Should this be in feature requests ? Might it even be a bug? :gasp: feel frre to move, ye mods
