3. Set the 'Watched Folder'  to  {Autoin}

4. Choose a 'Destination Folder' that is suitable, with full Read/Write permissions.

5. Keep the develop and metadata options as 'None' until the system is working. (Change later if wanted)

6. Start the scanner software and set it to save the files into the {Autoin} folder.

7. Do the scan job, and with Lr also running, images will auto-import to the {Destination Folder}

I have only used Epson scan, and setting the 'Save to' option is easy. Not sure how Silverfast works.

The "...index a nil value"  error can occur if an option box is empty (nil value), check as in 5. that you see "None".

Regards. My System: Lightroom-Classic 13.2 Photoshop 25.5, ACR 16.2, Lightroom 7.2, Lr-iOS 9.0.1, Bridge 14.0.2, Windows-11.
