    Auto Open on Device Connect

    Deep Woods Community Member

      When I connect my camera to the computer, Lr does not automatically open. I have gone to the Preferances interface to ensure Show import dialog when memory card is connected is checked.

      Lr does not even show up in the Auto Play pop up window.

       

      Any ideas?

       

      Thank you,

          Yes. Don't use it.

          Because otherwise LR pops up everytime you connect media to your computer.

           

          The import dialog is OK and very easy to use.

            Hello Frans,

             

             

             

            But if I want it to pop up every time I connect media to my computer is there a way to make this happen? With the option checked it still doesn’t do it.

              You say:

              "Lr does not even show up in the Auto Play pop up window."

              Are you sure?

              In AutoPlay there are two drop-down menus.In the one on the top you have to select <Pictures>. After you did that in the second drop-down menu called "Actions" there should be the option <LR - Import photos>. If it does, select <Take no Action> and click on <Apply>.

               

              If you really can't see LR, you best use a card reader instead of connecting the camera to the computer.

                Hello,

                 

                 

                 

                Still a strange inconsistency I do not understand. The Auto Play pop up that comes up when the camera is connected definitely does not display Lightroom, nor is there an option to view more auto play options.  However, when the memory card is inserted through a memory card reader, I can select Lightroom from the auto play menu. I am not sure why the camera does not generate Lightroom in the auto play list.  I am using a Canon Rebel XS.

                 

                 

                 

                Any ideas,
