SUDDENLY I dont get action on import.

[Steve Zeeeee]

The files ARE there, but nothing shows up.

Also the destination pane is now missing.  Am I suddenly supposed to be

using the hidden destination panel?  Never used to.  Also, what ever is

checked there in the hidden panel, never works anyway.

Check the top center of the Import dialog.

Make sure you have selected something other than "add".

[Steve Zeeeee]

None of the options in that area changes anything.

the destination pane is now missing.

In the Import window, select Move at the top. If you don't see the Destination panel on the right, right-click Apply During Import (or the header of any other panel on the right that's showing) and select Destination.

If you still don't see the Destination panel, post a screenshot of the entire Import window.

Copy is the only choice I get for device import.

Copy is the only choice I get for device import.

If Macos considers that device as "removable" (e.g. a flash drive or SD card), then you won't be able to select Move or Add (it's a LR restriction).

[Steve Zeeeee]

so back to the original question...

[dj_paige · Accepted solution]

If the Destination panel is missing, then right-click (or whatever the MAC equivalent is) on the the words "File Handling", and select Destination from the drop-down menu that appears.

thats the ticket.  How can these things disappear unknown like that after all these years?
