Does anyone have a solution to disable the auto advance to next photo when using auto import.

I want to use this for event photography workflow but if my assitant is doing a quick crop or adjustment before printing if I take another photo it auto opens that photos so that he/she has to go back to the one they were working on - bloody annoying and imposssible if you have a queue of guests who want prints quickly.

I used to use Picassa for this which worked perfectly

Please help anyone.

PS I know you can disable in tether mode but this is not what I am talking about - thanks in advance

Uncheck the option Preferences > General > Select The Current/Previous Import Collection During Import.

Thanks for your reply

but that doesn't work I tried already

I saw that setting and it relates to tethered shooting direct into LR

have you done what you suggest successfully

thanks

That option applies to File > Import Photos and to > Auto Import, but I forgot about an annoying glitch: If the current source (folder or collection) is the destination of auto-imported photos, then LR changes the currently selected photo to the new auto-imported photo.

The inconvenient workaround is to first move the photo you want to edit into another folder or add it to the Quick Collection before editing it.

and be sure to click the Vote button at the top left and Follow at the bottom of the first post. That will make it a little more likely that Adobe will consider implementing the feature and you'll be notified when they do. Product developers rarely participate in this forum and won't see your post here.
