1. Re: Import Preset does not work...
Ian Lyons Aug 14, 2011 9:44 AM (in response to fuaho)Unfortunately, the import prsets do not included the source device/location. The store info on the type of import (e.g. copy, move, etc), backup location, file, name, develop presets, and a bunch of other stuff that can be done to files during import.
Here's the contents of a typical Import Preset
autoSegmentMethod = "autoSegment_None",
backupDownloadFolder = "/Users/ianlyons/Pictures/Lightroom/Download Backups",
crSettingsID = "A2F6DCB2-F6BE-4F3A-96A4-732EC4B1C1CE",
doCopyToBackupFolder = false,
extensionCase = "unchanged",
ignoreSuspectedDuplicates = true,
importBehavior = "refInPlace",
importServiceProvider = "com.adobe.ag.import.file",
importServiceProviderTitle = "Files on Disk",
initialSequenceNumber = 1,
keywords = "",
metadataPresetID = "CE1FDEB2-67F5-43C2-BC8B-CB4B5C84ED33",
previewBuildQuality = "sbig",
previewJPEGQuality = 0.75,
renamingTokensEnabled = false,
renamingTokensOn = true,
shootNameFormat = "%Y/%Y-%m-%d",
standardPreviewSize = 1440,
suppressImportDialog = false,
tokenCustomString = "",
tokenShootName = "",
tokens = "{{date_YYYYMMDD}}-{{image_name}}",

2. Re: Import Preset does not work...
fuaho Aug 14, 2011 10:28 AM (in response to Ian Lyons)OK. Thanks!
BTW, where is that preset information located? I'd like to take a look at it on my system. Win7 64-bit.
TIA,

TIA,
"Edit -> Preferences -> Presets Tab -> Show Lightroom Presets Folder" will show you C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Adobe, within which you have different folders for different presets.
Btw, are you sure you want to import using ADD from your DVD's? This way, you'll end up with missing photos/folders for all images residing on non-online DVD's.

Thanks for the path info.
Yes, I do want to import using "Add." The images are already on the DVDs and I have a very comprehensive system of archiving, storing and locating those disks. I am including the disk ID in the sublocation and keyword metadata of each image. Once I have a complete database of 1:1 thumbnails, it will be a simple matter to find any image on any disk for printing. Have imported over 10k thumbnails so far and the system works perfectly.

OK, as long as you're aware of what you're doing :-)
