P: Set a default import source folder

@JohanElzenga  I most certainly do have to 'navigate', probably 97% of the time, and I have no idea why I don't 3% of the time. You really do seem to frequently make excuses on Adobe's part for inane software implementations. 

@JohanElzenga Fair enough. I apologize. To me, your recommendation is not good enough and I want to see my suggestion implemented, but you're right - others may find that suggestion perfectly adequate for their needs and may not have realized it's there. 

@WildWanderer Why the hostility? I wasn't making excuses. I do not work for Adobe, so I have no reason to make excuses on their behalf. All I was trying to do is help you to make your workflow a little more efficient, giving the limitation that I acknowledged and can't change for you. Unfortunately some people don't seem to appreciate that. So be it. Other people reading this thread may still benefit from my reply.

Sure, good idea, the ability to define a remembered import source would be convenient. Written into an import preset?

I do support the option to delete images from SD card after import, as the linked Idea, and agree there are use cases where that would be helpful. But this is not the same thing as moving images off the SD card, and does not require that ability.

Lightroom Classic can already COPY files off SD card directly to a final location. I can't see how moving images somewhere else temporary so that LrC can then move them again to your desired location, can be less work than that.

If LrC could then selectively delete whatever it had just copied (which is the meat of the linked Idea, if I understand correctly) then this achieves the identical end result and with a much smaller change impact AFAICT.

Another thought: is it even necessary for these images to disappear from the SD card. What if (optionally) LrC set some metadata flag on files within the SD card, when they participate in a (Copy) import. And what if (optionally) a future Import session referred to that file metadata as well as checking what that Catalog already contained. Then we could exclude all images that had already been imported by LrC, even if that had been into a different Catalog. And do so more economically, rapidly and safely IMO. And one could still then import those images anyway, if so desired.

Of course it would be better if you could set one folder as default

@JohanElzenga This is all you need in your reply. These community suggestions are for making the product better, not making excuses for why it's maybe good enough.  

You do not have to 'navigate'. There is a long list of recently used source folders available if you click on the Source drop down menu. Of course it would be better if you could set one folder as default, but this is much easier than really navigating in the panel.

Exactly. I 'manually' import to a Master folder first, and then import into Lightroom. Every freaking time I have to navigate the Import pane to the same Disk/Folder, it's such a waste of time.
