P: Highlighting of recent import folder

It would be very helpful if LRC would automatically highlight, within the folder tab (especially in color!) the folder name/path of your most recent import. As an example of how this affects me, I very often create very similar or identical subfolders for sports shoots I do. When importing images that I may have in a folder labeled "RAW", I don't always import the master folders above it because I might not want other subfolders included in the import (like say a "video clips" folder).  The result of this is that I can have numerous folder in LRC that show as  "RAW" or "Cam A" with subfolder "RAW" below it, etc.  So, when I initially do my import and it finishes, the Library module appears with the new images, but the particular folder containing them over on my left sidebar is hidden amongst it's peers that look very similar, and it might not be initially visible due to a long list of folders (have to scroll up/down to find it). If I hover over that folder, the thumbnails highlight white, but why isn't the new import shown more prominently? After you click on the folder, it's highlighted light gray, but you have to find it first. If LRC would automatically highlight (again, in color, yay!) the new import AND center it in your visible list of folders, that would be awesome. If I'm overlooking something here in LRC that already exists, I would love to know.

I take it you are seeing the image in the Library module within the All Photographs collection.

 

Right click the image, Select Go to Folder in Library

Thank you. I had not tried that and it does get the job done, that will
be my go-to move now. I've also started temporarily moving folders or
images out of the master folder (that I don't want LRC to try and import),
prior to an import, so my top folder named with the event will show up.

That said, it still seems an oversight that the recent import folder
isn't automatically highlighted right after an import since that's where
you'll probably be starting your new work session.

I appreciate your response!
