P: Avoid duplicate on import is not working when photo as been already auto imported

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.
