Not sure I completely understand the question. I am talking about the import module, not the library after import. Start up Lightroom. When in Library Module, select File > Import Photos and Videos. You get the import tool or dialog box I guess with options. (Wish I could find the way to default where the import looks first for new files...) Select the source path on the left where the files are you want to import. (In my case in this instance, a subdirectory in user home pictures directory. The import tool then displays all pictures it finds that you can select or deselect for import based on criteria at the top. (All Photos, New Photos etc.) Changing these options had no effect on being able to see the files I wanted or not. I was not seeing all images in that directory to select for import. But - I believe I have solved it. I renamed the JPG file and appended an "_Final" to the file after reading elsewhere Lightroom is treating jpgs with the same name as other files in the directory as 'sidecars'. After renaming the file, it was now available for selection and I expect not being treated as a sidecar? Is there a way to change this default? I n import dialog I tried changing file handling to standard from Embedded and Sidecar and it had no effect on being able to see the file or not for selection. So I did another test. Changed the JPEG file name back to the same name as a corresponding TIF file in same directory and again, the file was no longer visible for selection again. (after refreshing the directory view) Is there a setting to prevent JPGs from being treated as sidecars or preview files (?) by default if it has the same name as another file? After checking preferences I was unable to locate one. GS
