Did Benjamins test and can confirm that the import fails when my 5D mkII shoots RAW+JPEG, while everythings seems to work fine shooting only RAW.

Import to LR 4.0 failes under Windows 7 64 Bit from SSD card and HDD. It woked first time last week with stop during the import process (processing of previws) but could restarted by mouse klick. Now LR freezes after switching to Catalogue page. Import of RAW (Panasonic/Leica) with converting to DNG.

First of all, I stand corrected - one can shoot RAW only with the Fuji X10. Thanks Ben.

I can confirm that LR4 can import the RAW files directly from the cam. That would be good news except, I do actually like to have both RAW and JPG formats.

Also I've noticed - as expected - that in the absence of the JPGs the 1:1 preview generation does add a very noticable lag.

PS - as soon as I enabled RAW+JPG the import from the cam failed. However, when I turned RAW off and thus recorded JPG only it worked fine. Therefore it appears that the problem is caused by the two formats being present.

I am able to re-confirm that if LR4 has "treat JPGs as separate files..." turned on then it can do the import to the detriment of clarity within the catalog.

I can confirm that import with LR 4.1 (RC2) from both Fujifilm X10 as well as Nikon D700 now work as they should.

Many thanks to all concerned. Of course ...

Still having problems unfortunately with RC2 using Nikon D90.

When set to Raw+jpg I only get Raw imports. If set to only Raw or only Jpeg formats(fine, normal, basic) files are imported without problem. I tried different sd cards after formating them again.

Thanks Jim! That solved it. Strange that it came unchecked.

I have a hard drive reaching capacity. Before I realized I should have done this using LR, I used Finder to move roughly half the files (about 22,000) to a different drive. I then imported those files and folders into LR. Everything looked good, until I looked and saw anywhere from 1-250 files in the dozens of folders, when there should be more like 200-700 files in each folder. The files exist on the drive, but I can't get LR to import them.

I use the Synchronize function on a test folder, which indeed detects that there are hundreds of files to import, so I click OK. Synchronize does its thing for awhile, and then I get the error window "No photos or videos were found to import."

I click the Import button and direct it to the proper folder...I see the images checked that are missing from the catalog and need to be imported...I click Import. Import does its thing for awhile, and then I get the error window "No photos or videos were found to import."

FYI, I did go into the preferences and clear the cache.

The files are there; LR sees them; LR will not import them. What gives?

Hopefully this sheds some light:

Putting aside everything I said earlier, moving files and being LR not finding them. Here is something fresh that popped up, and I'm sure has to do with the overall problem I'm facing: I had a shoot this weekend, days after posting here. I saved some web-res images to a folder on my laptop's HD. LR doesn't see those web-res files until I Synchronize that folder. Now, with this new LR issue, when I click Synchronize Folder, it recognizes that there are files there, but then I get the same old error message, "No photos or videos were found to import." I can see the files there in my finder, and LR sees them there in the Synchronize window; but it just won't import them. When I try this using the Import button, I see the files, but they are grayed out and unselectable, even when I uncheck "Don't Import Suspected Duplicates." [AMENDMENT: I went back an unchecked the Don't Import Suspected Dupes box and saw that I was able to select and import the file that would not show up when I was using Synchronize. I clicked Import, and LR did indeed import the file, as it showed me in the Import window (you know, the temp folder it shows you for the files you recently imported, regardless of where they were imported to). However, when I navigate to the folder where the image should have been imported to, it is not there. In fact, I used Finder to search for that image, and it is nowhere to be found, either on my laptop, or my portable hard drive where it should be...this is making no sense whatsoever...]

To be clear, this is an incident that is independent (but related) to the issue I stated above, about moving folders to new hard drives and LR not recognizing them. I'm posting it because it's definitely related, and because this issue is happening without the whole "moving files to a new hard drive" snafu. This is happening with new files created with Photoshop and saved to my local HD, and LR seeing them but refusing to import them.

LR is failing me!!!

And out of nowhere, Synchronizing starts to work...

It's all made from dirt (with the help of air, water, fire, and human ingenuity of course) and there are still bugs in it...

I don't suppose this miraculous recovery could have been the result of:

1. Restarting Lightroom, or

2. Restarting Computer

could it?

I had to ask. - even with much experience, I sometimes forget to reboot when computer is acting wonky.

Anyway, Lightroom and computer can sometimes auto-correct when things gets too far out of alignment, whatever that means.

Only thing is: sometimes problems that go away by themselves, come back by themselves .

Glad it's working now,
