5.6 Import dialog box Lightroom empty on Win 8

Hello

In recent weeks I have problems with the import LR5.6 window unable to see all the files of importation on removable card, camera, local drive or network drive. If I drag and drop files from Explorer to lightroom opens the import dialog box, but the screen import empty

License CC 64-bit of Windows 8.

Problems arose initially after update through CC, but I have since tried

1. new catalog

2 reinstall 5.6

3. Uninstall and go back to 5.4

All this same problem - now reinstalled 5.6 without success and do not think it was a problem to update.

I'm not aware of any LR option that limits the types of files in the import dialog box

I'm not aware of other changes I made which changes file etc. - associations there was some automatic updates of windows.

There is no problem viewing / opening files with Explorer windows or photoshop etc and all of the images currently in my catalog are thin and editable in LR - it's just the import dialog which is empty

It does not help with workflow!

Any ideas would be great

As in the article below, you need to update your Lightroom to the latest version and in your case, you have already done this.

I suggest you to reset preferences in Lightroom and then check out the same thing.

Did you update to 8.1 Win? If this is not the case, install the update 8.1 Win and try the same.

Hope that helps!

  • Lightroom 5.0 does not automatically open the import dialog box when the inserted memory card

    Lightroom 5.0 fails to detect the memory card and import dialog box open. It has always worked well in Lightroom 2, 3 and 4.  Same cards, same camera, same iMac using OSX 10.8.4. Manual import works OK, the card is detected fine.

    Thank you very much, this TOTALLY WORKED for me.  Win 10, LR 5.7.1.  An inserted SD card of Nikon D7000 in the SD card reader built-in to laptop and Windows automatically started both Lightroom AND automatically went straight into LR import feature.  Perfect.

    (However, if LR is already running, insert the card SD initiates not import feature, despite having turned on the required checkbox in the preferences.)  Nevertheless, it is progress!   :-)

  • 5 Lightroom Import dialog box does not appear previews

    I just installed Lightroom 5 and the import dialog box does not appear for previews of the images.  Without previews, there are no images to select for import.  It doesn't matter if they are JPG or CR2 and if I try to import from the camera card or hard drive.  Version 4.4 also failed at first, but after fiddling around, I finally got the old version to work.  Help, please!

    I use Lightroom 5, Windows 7 64 bit.

    I've expanded the dialog on the right boxes and Destination Panel on the right was the problem.  As soon as I developed it, all the images in the preview window began to appear!

  • LR4 does not auto launch import dialog box after that one card is imported.

    Hi all

    I upgraded to of LR3 LR4.  Works on a new iMac with mountain lion.  LR4 said its updated.

    If I import images of several cards that LR4 will automatically detect the first map and bring up the dialog box import, import the images and then ejected the card.  When I pop in the next map there is no automatic import dialog box and I have to go to the drop-down list so he could start.  When the second card is important it doesn't auto eject and I have to do it manually.  Automatic detection is checked.  Eject after that importation is checked.  And the LR4 app is open (not trying to start LR when I put a card).

    I did some research with no luck so if there is a thread about this please send me the link.

    Thank you all!

    For testing purposes a couple of things to try:

    1. try to create a new, empty catalog. It works as expected in the new catalogue empty?

    2. If not. Close Lightroom, rename the preferences file, open Lightroom and it will rebuild the preferences file. What is fix?

    Preferences file: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-4.html

    If she doesn't fix it, you can rename your preference back to your workspace to restore files.

  • Import dialog box does not open

    I just upgraded to 5 Lightroom in Lightroom 3, and the import dialog box will not open. I can select file-> Import Photos and videos... and the menu option flashes as he was selected, but nothing else happens. Any ideas? I'm on OS X Mavericks.

    I figured this out. Based on the below stack trace it seems that Lightroom has tried and failed to create the directory ~ / Movies, and that failure has stopped in the logon dialog box. In my case, ~/Movies is a symbolic link to a directory that lives on an external drive, which was set up in time. I can work around the problem is the disc with my films of editing on it or removing the symbolic link. It is not ideal (I can't quite fit on a disc, and I have other software that really wants movies ~/Movies and not anywhere else) but it works.

  • Import dialog box no longer displays the files (not even those on the hard drive)

    I take pictures with a D70 (canon) and I imported the always without problems. After that an update or installation of an external program from the import dialog box shows not more photos. It is a black screen. The files can be read the navigation and are regularly cr2 (raw files). What can I do? There are 149 files on the card and not displayed, see below

  • images are not in the order in the import dialog box...

    use lightroom 4.3...  import photos, they are displayed in a random order in the window of IMPORT.  With previous versions of lightroom, they were always in order of file name.  It becomes much more time to select files to import into a file, if there are 2 or more jobs on a CF card (I have pictures of my kids skiing mixed with a portrait session.).  Is there a way to sort photos (by name of file, or time) before importing?  I don't know how to sort after import.

    These are your options. It's down to the right of the import dialog box

  • LR 3.3 import dialog box - import can be filtered by file type?

    I sometimes use a Canon S95 point and shoot and get around the problem of having RAW images AND a certain aspect (e.g. square) ratio is to shoot with the RAW + JPEG setting. This allows me to draw in any aspect ratio with out cropping in post. For this reason, my LR import dialog box indicates the RAW images and the corresponding JPEG images. Often, I would just empty JPEG files and keep the RAWs.

    Is it possible to check or select just the RAWs other than having to hand check each RAW while avoiding selective JPEG images. In other words, is there a way to filter or to separate what you want to import by file type.

    Thanks for your help!

    Lr import module is not supported filtering by file type, but you can use a Lr plug-in to achieve the same result. Further details at http://www.robcole.com/Rob/ProductsAndServices/ImporterLrPlugin/index.cfm

  • The "Windows features" dialog box is empty in Windows 7

    When I click on turn on or off Windows features in the programs and features Control Panel, the Windows features dialog box is empty, no functionality is displayed. What should I do?

    Thank you buddy, but sfc.exe/scannow not worked and I faced another error! (windows resource protection could not start the repair service).

    Finally, I found the solution:
    (1) If you receive the error "Registry space" low, set the size limit of the registry to "unlimited":
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
    Key: RegistrySizeLimit
    Type: REG_DWORD
    Value: 0xffffff (4294967295)
    (2) restart
    (3) as administrator, open a command prompt and run "SFC/scannow". The command should complete successfully and when errors have been detected, they should be corrected.
    Follow the steps and good luck!
  • Save as dialog box is empty after the document scanning

    After the digitization of documents, when I go to the file menu and save, the dialog box is empty.  It was only intermittent, now it's all the time.

    Hi johns18225944,

    Please try to uncheck the "Show when saving files from online storage" option in the Edit menu > Preferences > General.

    Click OK at the bottom to save the settings and then try to save the file.

    Let us know if it works.

  • Import dialog box appears not all readers

    For some reason any two drives my not appear as places of import from the import dialog box. They appear in the browser on the left in the library and the develop Module. I edit on the ssd and then move it to the other drive in Lr, so it's not slow my workflow, but only a strange problem.

    Someone at - he heard of this? Someone said it could be the drive letter (b), I'll change it as soon as I return to my office. Any other ideas?

    HI JMGant,

    You can see the disks in the dialog import if you "choose a Source:" at the same to of the left panel? That should give you access to these drives even if they are not displayed in the Panel.
