How can I add a new subfolder for lightroom without sync entire folders tree?

I have about 50 000 images in a directory tree on my PC.    They are carefully classified and separated into subfolders by date, topic, etc.    However, every time I download pictures from my camera in a new subfolder in that tree, I synchronize it to get Lightroom to 'see' the new folder.   It is a pain because it's starting to take a time LOOOOOOONG to go through this process.

Is there a way to simply tell Lightroom "look, here's a new subfolder, recognize and import the photos inside the catalogue?

Yes it is. In the dialog to import in the area Source point LR to the real subfolder. All of the drives, folders, and subfolders are visible in the import dialog.

It displays all of the subfolders in the library module is why you use the function synchronize in a top-level folder. It shows that all drives, folders and subfolders when you click on the button import in the library module.

The only time that a drive or folder appears in the library module is once you have imported the pictures in this folder.

You can also use the import dialog window to all your copy from a memory card or the camera and place them in a folder of your choice and or manufacturing as well as their import at the same time.

Please buy a book or view some of the very good tutorials online on the import of images in LR.
