I may have uncovered a bug in LR with regard to Box files. macOS 10.13.6 The Box system is an online/local syncing system almost identical to DropBox. When I point LR (v7.5) at the top level of desired import images (the Box folder, which in my case has numerous subfolders of images) and import them, they show up following import as a long series of alphanumericsymbol filenames, instead of the files' actual filenames. Moreover, the folder and subfolder structure is not retained and the 'Folders' drop-down in LR following import shows the alphanumericsymbol filenames as listed directly at the root of the boot drive (incorrect, as the Box folder lives under my Mac user account at the root of that directory. This same odd file-naming display does not happen for files in my DropBox folder (exact same location in my account - co-resident with the Box folder), nor in any other folder structure on my drive. Pitching the LR prefs did not help, and the issue is repeatable - but only with content in the Box folder. Interestingly, when I mouse-hover over imported thumbs from the Box folder, the contextual menu in the hover shows the proper file's filename. Has anyone else see this with images resident in the Box file syncing system?
