Lightroom: Import RAW only, not JPG

[AxlV]

I shoot RAW+JPG.

For the more casual stuff, I can import JPG straight into Apple Photos.

When wirelessly transferring photos from my A6000 to my phone, JPG offers better quality.

For the more serious stuff, I import RAW into Lightroom 6.

The problem is that Lightroom imports both.

I have no use for JPGs in LR when I have the RAW file.

My library is full of JPGs that I do not want and I can't figure out how to only import the RAW and leave the JPG on my SD card.

I am trying to import BOTH raw and jpg images BUT oddly only the RAW files are showing up, even though they are different images altogether.  See screenshots showing the entirety of the folder with both raw and jpgs, but LR only showing the raw files. I am sure I am doing something stupid.  I called Adobe support and after going through 10 prompts and leaving my call back number and holding for a person, it hung up on me.

Is there a LR expert out there I can rely on?

Thanks!

I have exactly the same issue as a workaround I made a little script to delete JPGs after I import or even later.

$dngList = Get-ChildItem -Path C:\Users\Steve\Pictures\ -Filter *.dng -Recurse

foreach ($dngFile in $dngList) {

        $jpgFilename = $dngFile.FullName -Replace "[Dd][Nn][Gg]$", "jpg"

        if ( Test-Path $jpgFilename)

        {

                $jpgFilename

                Remove-Item $jpgFilename

        }

}

This code look for all *.DNG files on a directory recursively. Then it test if the same name but with .JPG exists then it delete the .JPG

Change the path to whatever location you're using. You must run this under Windows PowerShell.

I hope it helps you. It's very annoying Lightroom doesn't have the option to not import the JPG.

I have a macbook pro; this is a solution after you import:

While you can't import RAW only, once the import is finished (in Library > filter > any searchable field > contains all > [Type] jpg and ENTER/RETURN

This will separate all your jpgs; simply select all and delete. All that remains are your RAW (DNG).
