Lightroom CC 2015.2 does not import new images with "Synchronize folder" unless "Show import dialog before importing" is ticked and imported that way. It does show that there are X new images to import, but just gives "No photos or videos were found to import." dialog after pressing "Synchronize". Using Windows 10 and images are on a mapped network drive.This has worked fine with all previous versions dating back to LR 3 or so when I started using it and definitely still with 2015.1.1 yesterday.

In my case, I had to check the "Treat JPEG files next to RAW files as separate photos" for the synchronize folder function to work.

Problem: Same reporting of photos when synchronizing, but not doing the import.
Cause: Photos that were not imported were all duplicates of photos already in catalog.
Solution: Get rid of the duplicates.

In my opinion, having hidden places to click like that is poor UI design.

Next, right-click Apply During Import and select Show All:

Thx again for replying. The only option I get on the right hand side when I click that is "apply during import" with the options in the pic. I don't quite remember when or why that changed but I was so busy I just sort of made do. Wish I had chased it then!

Thanks so much for replying, John. But it is so strange, for a while now I haven't been given that panel. Now to get anything similar I have to click the arrow on the bottom left side and I get this pop up window. Maybe it is the version I am using?
