1. Re: Watching a folder and auto importing
ssprengel Nov 19, 2008 8:55 PM (in response to hrh gracie)You are talking about wanting to do Auto-Synchronization where Import Missing Photos is what's enabled.
There's no such thing, although you can manually kick it off, easy enough, with a right-click on the parent folder of the 80-90 sub-folders and choose Synchronize Folder and make sure the correct synchronzation options are enabled and disabled.
I suspect the reason there isn't such a thing is that it is time-consuming where LR would have to constantly look in all folders to see if any more photos showed up by comparing what was on disk with what was in its catalog. This is a different operation than merely moving any files out of a directory and into another location w/in the cataloged folders because it is easy for LR to see whether or not there are any new photos in a location that typically does not have anything in it when the auto-import operation is complete. -

hrh gracie Nov 20, 2008 6:26 PM (in response to hrh gracie)Yeah, the synchronize is what I've been doing. Just figured there'd be some method that'd keep an eye on my folders of derivatives so I wouldn't have to synchronize manually...
