How to collect images into a subfolder.

I have just been removing duplicates from a folder. Some where in subfolders and some were in the outer folder. Now I want to look at the photos that are lying in the outer folder and subclassify them into the subfolders. However looking at the large folder one sees both the folders in the subfolders as well as those in the master folder. How do I turn this off so I see only the photos that are not in the subfolders. I think there is a control at the root of the catalogue but I couldn't see it. Sorry to trouble you

Thanks

Do the menu command Library > Show Photos In Subfolders (make sure it is unchecked).

Thanks John I had never noticed that item before. I thought it was in the structure of the library, I was stymied without that piece of information.

You might be thinking of the Import window, where the Include Subfolders button is right in the middle of the window.

LR has lots of these features scattered around -- you have to do a pixel hunt sometimes to find them.
