Problems uploading pictures in LRC

[faridavdd]

Hi all,

When I try to upload new pictures from an external hard disk, LRC dont seem to find any pictures in the folder that I select. I try to add the pictures straight on my MacBook, and I even tried to upload them from the SD card but no luck so far. 

I even created a new catalogue but even than LRC cant seem to find the pictures either.

There are 94 pictures inside the folder.

MacBook Pro: Ventura 13.2.1

LRC: 12.2-1 version

Anyone knows how to solve this?

All help is appreciated!

Kind regards,

Farida

In your MACOS, did you allow Lightroom Classic to have full disk access?

I did gave full disk acces but still nothing changed 😞

The import dialog box does not show the File Handling panel. So please try this: click on Copy, expand the File Handling panel and make sure a valid folder (a folder that actually exists) is shown under File Handling; then click back on Add.

Still nothing, it shows my folders but not my images in the folder.

What happens if you select EOS DIGITAL under Bron? Also, it would be helpful to see the entire screen in your screen capture, but we don't see that, the right side is choppped off.

Return back to that Copy import screen. Over on the right, down in the destination panel, change the destination to an existing hard drive, to an existing folder. Assume for this test that whatever is/was currently listed is wrong. Then as stated changing back to Add.

Point of this odd process is to eliminate the possibility that a destination was changed outside of LrC post last import, this is an old oddity that sometimes trips up.

OMG I dont know why but by doing this step my pictures were visible and I was able to import them!!! Thanks so much for your help!

Does that mean you took the SD card out of the camera, then put it into a SD card reader?

And if so, did you:

• Attempt an import in LrC via Copy

or did you:

• Using MACOS Finder, copied the photos to a folder on a hard drive, then attempted to import in LrC via Add?

If you did not do the latter, then attempt that.
