LRC 15.3

Windows 11

 

Step to reproduce

  1. Configure auto import. Don’t rename and don’t apply any preset. Keep is simple 
    Auto import settings

     

  2. Copy a photo in the auto import folder. The photo is imported automaticly
  3. Launch a normal import with the "don’t import suspected duplicates" box checked
  4. Point to the initial folder were the photo was (not the auto-import one)
  5. The photo that is already in the catalog is not greyed. You can reimport it and create a duplicate even if you ask to avoid duplicates. 

Kind regards

    I’ve verified with the team that this is not expected behavior for this ingest method. We’ve logged a bug for it. Thank you for your report.
