In the import, are you selecting Copy, Copy as DNG, or Add.

For a NAS, it might be better to copy the photos to the NAS, then in LrC, import using Add.

I'm using the copy option. I could use the method you mentioned. I was just hoping the normal way would work. I'm also curious if what I'm experiencing is the expected outcome or an issue.

Not expected, it is an issue. But LrC and NAS (for photo location) can be tepermental.

No, it jumps to previous imports automatically, as it should, but it is empty until I restart lightroom.

Where is Lightroom installed and where is your catalog folder? How long has it been since it was working correctly?

Lightroom and my catalog are in drive C:. I'm aware that catalogs must be on the main drive. Lightroom has always worked as it should; this is just the first time I'm trying to import directly to my NAS, so I'm not sure if this was an issue on previous versions.

Anything happen when you select "Previous Import"?
