P: Remembering Deleted Images from Previous Imports

After I import photos I often delete many that are not anything I wish to keep / manage in LRC. However after deleting them, they show up the next time as new photos even though I have have checked "Don't import selected duplicates. Maintaining an MD5 or other checksum to recognize that what the photo is not in the catalog it was previously imported and deleted, so don't include it in the imports, would be very helpful. Yes, I could reformat the card but in the case of phone imports this is not something I want to do. I want to leave the photos on the phone but if I have deleted them on LRC, they should not show up again as candidates for import.

Thank you,

Harry

P.S. The "Topics help users find your post. Please select one or more topics." are nearly useless. For example in this case I use MacOS but I suspect the is a problem on Windows. I don't know. Why choose these tags. Better would be if "import dialog" was one of the options.

I will assume you do bot keep photos on an SD card forever. That this is during a short period of time, Perhaps during a Photo trip, or a Photo Shoot over a few days when you did some importing after the shoot, and did a bit if cutting out clutter.

For me, if these are absolutely non recoverable rejects, I would only remove them for now so that LrC does not bother me with them on later imports. I would just remove them, not delete them, until shooting during the trip/shoot/project was done, and  I was back at home/office, where upon, I would delete them, Make additional backups of the keepers, etc, and format in camera the SD cards.
