Why auto import does not work?

As shown in the Panel LR file to 'auto import' is not sensible. To set up a control folder requires it to be empty, but announces that he will feel a card (which will have folders) in a location on the computer. Then the Setup program indicates the folder must be empty.

Try to make all this work, I put an empty card in the slot and for the installer selected empty folder DCIM/100EOS7D of the card. LR who agreed that the folder is empty. Then allowing with the box in the upper part has been accepted by LR. But when I tried to eject the empty map, I got an error message that the card was in use (no other programs to use it). So I had to close and restart LR, and it can eject then OK.

Then, I put a map with photos in the folder DCIM/100EOS7D into this slot and waited and waited. No LR reaction, which was already running (CC 6.3 on Win 7 Pro).

I am sure I do not what is expected, but I tried over and over again in the course of the years and never managed to do work. Why don't the treat of instructions of installation using a card slot and use words that describe what will happen with the card when inserted? If it takes the installer with an empty map, say so. But I proved that is not enough, or not right in the first place.

If anyone has this work, I'll be happy to read about a process that works. The published data are totally confused. J Kost video has nothing about it and huge book of same V Bampton just repeats the instructions from Adobe. Thanks in advance for fixing this.

The "Watched" folder must be located in your computer system. For example. on the desktop. (Not on the camera card or a connected camera)

You must use the operating system to do drag or copy & paste the images from the camera card to the 'Watched' folder using the software of the camera or just with Windows Explorer or the Mac Finder.

Then when Lr is running it will take images of the "Watched" folder and import them into the catalogue and the "Destination" folder

So "watched" folder on the hard drive of the computer. (Desktop computer is handy!)

For anyone who uses a scanner setting up the scanner can set an output folder - this could be the "Watched" folder and each scan would be automatically added to the catalog.
