Lightroom Folders

When I import an image into LR, it is displayed as being in a separate folder in the navigator panel. See this image to see what I'm talking about.​ The photo itself is stored in the correct drive and folder, so I'm not sure why LR is doing this. Any help is appreciated. ​

Here is an image of my import settings.

Previous Import is not a folder, but a collection (list) that displays the image(s) from the latest import.

You can turn this behavior off by going to Preferences > General and unchecking "Select the "Current/Previous Import" collection during import. (at least I think that's what this option does)

At a quick glance, the parsing of the network drive name has resulted in different drive names.

Why this has happened I cannot say.

Which exact NUMBER version of LR are you using?

Which version of Windows?

Thank you for the reply. I recently moved all my photos to a large external NAS device. So far it has been rather painless, this specific issue notwithstanding. I had wondered if the apparentlily different drive parsing had caused this problem. Not sure how I could change that.

I am on LR CC on Windows 8.1.

Actually, you're not. You are using Lightroom Classic CC (or perhaps an earlier version), not Lightroom CC.
