Synchronize will not import files that are not in the catalog
At first when I tried to synchronize a folder in Lightroom Classic, Synchronize said there are 424 photos to import, but then it did not import any.
I am on release 15.3.1, which I am told is the latest, and Windows 11 Pro. I have installed all operating system updates and GPU updates. I have also restored preferences in LR Classic. At the top level of my catalog, selecting All Photos, I have tried looking for specific files that are not getting imported, and LR can’t find them, so they can’t be there somewhere else in my catalog. I have never had this problem before. I have quit LR several times, and it sometimes would tell me that there was a corrupt file, so I deleted those files from my system.
Now when I try to synchronize, it says “importing files at their current location”, but nothing ever happens. When I ended the import, it told me that 2 files were unsupported or damaged. The files are type .ARW, created by a Sony A1 camera, that I have had no problems with in the past.
I have also tried the suggestion below, and when I search for photos that should have been imported, LR can’t find them:
Click on All Photographs on the left hand side of the Library module, under Catalog
Turn off all filters (Ctrl-L once or twice)
Expand all stacks (Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks)
Search for at least one of these photos by file name, using the Lightroom Filter Bar
Please help!
