Do you mean Lightroom Classic (LrC icon) or Lightroom (Lr icon)? What version NUMBER (we need the version NUMBER and not words like "latest" or "up-to-date").

Thank you for replying

I am using LR Classic v14.2 - note I have tried to upgrade to 14.3.1 but it
failed to upgrade due to processes running even though LR was not running.
I will try again later

This has never happened to me previously in all the time I have used LR

I am running Windows 11

As stated earlier I have tried to import and it seems to hang (the import
bar on top left is only showing approx 25% complete) and only showed 7 out
of the 33 photos in the photo strip at the bottom.

I then tried to import the others by selecting (check boxing only the
remaining photos) and again I could see 7 photos

I have subsequently found out it has imported all of them but I can only
see them when I tick the 'all photographs' rather than the usual 'current
import' option

Obviously I don't want to see all photographs and I only want to work on
the 33

Sorry but I can't work out why this is now happening. Not the only thing I
have done differently recently is on my last import I have tagged some
photos so that I could filter those specifically - I have now gone back to
default filter just to see if that works but no

Thanks for your help

PS next week I have a major assignment where I could be importing up to 800
photos each day for 4 days and really would like to get this problem
resolved

So filter the "All Photographs" for photos taken on a specific date. Or sort by capture date. The whole point of the Library Module is to give you ways to organize your photos, there are many ways to do this.

 

There's no way multiple imports will all appear in "Current Import"
