No photos found when trying to import from SD card

[annabitanga]

Recently and suddenly, LR 7.3.1 tells me "No photos found" on any SD cards I insert into the card reader. The cards are read just fine by Windows 10 64-bit (drive E in the attached screenshot). I can also review all of the photos on the cards from my camera.

Did you previously import the ARW raw files on the SD cards (i.e. they are already in the LR catalog) and you are now trying to import the JPEG files? If so you need to check the below setting in LR Preferences> General tab:

No, they are always new photos. I format my SD cards in camera after each

import into LR.

Try selecting the {Removable Disk (E:) } drive from the panel on the left,

Click the black triangle to open and dig down the folder tree until you show the folder {100MSDCF}

I have read a couple of forum posts where this enabled the Import.

Thanks! That works, albeit a workaround.
