• 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!   :-)

• 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.

• How can I access the standard import dialog box. Import button does not appear in the library module

  Only the clumsy 'compact' mode is now available. Forums and tutorials that show all 'standards' import dialog. Forum Adobe suggests installing earlier version. Please tell us how this can be done with CC

  You should always use the 2015.2 or 2015.2.1 version which had the modified import dialog box. Update LR 2015.3 through the creative cloud desktop application.

• Import dialog fails

  Hello world

  My Lightroom import dialog box is a fail. When I click on the button import or go to the menu import dialog box, my lightroom freezes. After I gess 2 min. from the dialog box appears, but it is also frozen. After a total of 10 minutes the importer thaws and I can use it totally without a lag. This problem came after I tried to import a photoshop PSD file. Since then, I have almost tried everything. I reinstalled Lightroom in cloud of Creative Manager and my DVD (I bought the normal Lighroom 6 Version NOT the CC). I've updated all my disks GPU on motherboard including BIOS and so on. Also, my Windows is completely up-to-date.
  I am running Windows 8.1 x 64 on a new Intel i7 Quad Core 6700. A msi Z170A PC Mate Motherboard with 16 GB DDR4 RAM. GPU is a Radeon R9 290.

  I hope you can help me with this problem thank you ;-)

• Thumbnails in the greyed import dialog

  When I try to import photos all thumbnails are grey, with pictures previously imported in a darker gray. While the names of image files are correct that I can't see previews of image as I used to be able to I cannot work on the folder in which import them.

  
  

  When I left my thumbnails of photos already imported import dialog didn't appear fine.
  

  Any suggestions on how to fix this problem? I use LR6.3 on OSX 10.11.2.

  TIA

• sort order by default import dialog

  It is possible somehow define the sorting order by default to Capture time in the import dialog box? And make it "sticky" so that it will stay at the time of Capture when I reopen it the import dialog box?

• New import dialog "simple."

  The new simplified import dialog is terrible; How can we get the old one back? You have destroyed the product by doing this!

  1. hold down [CTRL] when you click on the [IMPORT] library button in the grid.

  2. in preferences/general-uncheck the box "Display screen 'Add Photos'"

  Click [Select Source] top left of the screen for all locations, including a "Browse computer" option

  Click on sprocket wheel top right of the screen options and the destination folder ("Select")

  Everything is still there in the new style dialog box, if you're looking for, with the exception of-"Import duplicates", "Move", "Eject card after importing" and visible destination folders (but still available in the "Select" menu to "folder of Destination folders!)

• How to go back to Lightroom 6.1 in order to recover the import dialog box?

  The new import dialog box might be nice for inexperienced users. For people who work with Lightroom on a daily basis, it is simply not usable.

  How can I revert to the version 6.1?

  How to return to Lightroom 2015.1.1 or Lightroom 6.1.1?

• 6.2 Lightroom Import dialog box does not offer a choice of "make a second copy of. Am I missing something?

  Did I miss something in the import dialog box new version 6.2? In previous versions of Lightroom, there was a possibility to perform a backup copy, or the second, imported files. If this function is gone, or I'm looking in the wrong places?

  This new import dialog is a bust!

  Hi LarryLushbaugh

  Greetings!

  This option is always there in Lightroom CC/6 2.1 (version) updated most recent version (if haven't)

  Make sure that you expand the Advanced tab

• 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

  

  later in the forum, I found this, and it does the job

• 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!

• 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
