Lightroom wont import

All of a sudden I am having issues importing images into Lightroom Classic V12.1. I have imported hundreds of times using the same camera (Canon 5D Mk4) by connecting the camera via a cable to my PC using Windows 10. When I attempt to import today it recognises that there are files to import and the number of files (1267) is showing in the destination panel but doesn't show a preview at all. When I click on Import it goes through the usual motions and says that it is 'Importing Files'. However nothing happens after that.

When I then cancel the Import it says that the 'files were not imported because they could not be read or the destination folder is not writable'

I have tried a different cable and a different camera (still a Canon 5D Mk4) with the same results.

A few inquirys

Why are you attempting to import from devices instead of files. Devices can be troublesome.
Why does the card in camera not show up under files.
Can you copy the files outside of LrC, using the Windows File Explorer, and then import in LrC via Add?

Thanks for your reply.

I have always imported direct from the camera with no issues

Not sure what you mean by this

I have tried this but was unable to copy the files

Sounds like a problem in Windows file management, or a problem with your USB cable, or with the memory card, or the camera (perhaps settings)

So, do you have a card reader?

At Terry, what happens if you select the "In sub-folder" option at the Destination.

See the screen capture of portion of the image you supplied. Also I concerned that the image thumbnails are not displayed in the import dialog.

Please show us a screen capture of the ENTIRE Import dialog box. Use the "Insert Photos" icon. Do not attach files.
