P: Synchronize folder does not import new images unless show import dialog is active

Sync folder in lightroom does not work as it did pre update 10/5/15. After selecting the folder you want to sync, you must check the "show import dialog before importing" box before clicking ok. This takes you to the "new and improved" import feature. There you have to find the file you are looking to sync, then click on it, then click import. Ugh, a lot of steps have been added, it seems, because LR assumed we needed a new import feature. I just want to sync a folder.

When I try to synchronize a folder to which I have added a subfolder with pictures in it, synchronize finds how many pictures need to be imported, but then gives me error message "No photos or videos found" If I check use import dialog I get the hideous new import screen and it will then work after I select the pictures. Didn't have to do ti before. This is a major step back, and really slows workflow. Unless there is a quick fix, I'll be reverting to a previous version.

I have the same problem.
CR2-files in subfolders is not imported.
But it worked when i synchronized one of the subfolder where som of the pictures wasn't imported.
Using Windows 10.

the problem is that there is no quality management at adobe.

i wonder if they have betatester at all.

one hour after release the forums are FULL with reproducable bug reports.

HOW CAN THAT HAPPEN?! :-(

betatesters must have noticed these bugs (if betatester exist at adobe).....

the worst is many (including me) have predicted exactly this would happen with subscription.... i mean you have to pay anyway. adobe can release crap... you pay your monthly fee anyway.

yet the "paid by adobe pros" told everyone subscription is great. 😞

i have the same problem.

maybe it is related to the fact that adobe removed the ability to import duplicates with 2015.2?

any word form an adobe official?

this latest version is extremly buggy especially on apple systems.

what about a hotfix?

In my case the files were .CR2 with .xmp sidecars.

I cant even get the import at the bottom to work!

Just up-dated to latest version of Lightroom 2015.2 release as indicated in Adobe Cloud.

Right-click "Synchronize folder" shows the files which exist to be imported, then on given instruction to import, shows notice: "No photos or videos were found to import"

I can only import via Import bottom at bottom of screen: MUCH SLOWER!!!

All previous versions worked perfectly, why this now? Is it possible to revert to previous version? This is not good.

Otherwise superb application

Here is a kicker, if I edit a raw file and export it to jpg in my exports folder, LR will sync that file it created, but it wont sync another jpg or any raw files I move or add to that folder
