Import Problem

When I imported images a few minutes ago, all the files go into the specified folder, but LRc only shows 8 images to edit. I just imported 548 images into LRC, they all went into the folder, but only 8 images show  up to edit. This is the first time this has ever happened. Did I unclick some box or something?

Ok. I'm going to take more photos today at the park and I'll let you know how it goes when I start all over. Thank you so much. Darrell

Pay attention to where the photos get copied to during the import. Then look in that folder after the import. You will find them there. The recent import collection may not be working as expected for you. I don't know why. However, most likely there is no actual problem with the import.

It's hard to follow what you are describing. Can share some screen captures? What does the folder look like in the LrC Library view? Is it possible the view is being filtered? Where are you seeing only 8 images?

Thank you so much for replying. I apologize for not being very clear.  Nothing has changed from the way I've done it since '16 when I first started using LrC. I imported the images from my XQD card. "From G:/(XQD Card" "To H:/(Hard Drive). "Copy" is my only selection, the other choices are grayed out. When I clicked "Import", the dialogue on the screen said "Importing Images". When it was done importing, I got the tone that it was done. The images are in the folder on my hard drive, but now, instead of showing only 8 images on the screen like it did yesterday, it says "No Photos In Previous Import." I figured a work around for now. From "Library" I selected "New Folder". select the folder the images went into and they are there on the LRc screen and I can edit them. The images are out of order, sorry.

Take a screenshot with the left panel group open so we can see the folder structure.
