when I'm trying to use lightroom in either the library or develop, I keep getting the select a source page appear over the top of what I'm doing, I press cancel each time, but it re-appears constantly. Does anyone know what I am I doing wrong, or should be doing to stop this. The camera isn't connected and I've removed the card reader but that didn't stop it appearing. Each time it appears the "add" selection is lit. It's the latest version, Thanks

You are placing a Me Too reply in a five year old discussion. One that does not appear to be solved.

It is very unlikely that your Operating system is the same, it is very unlikely your Lightroom is the same, etc.

Please post your own brand new posting in Discussions.

When you do, please include your system info as LrC reports it

at the very least:

LrC version (including number)
Operating System version (and number)
CPU
RAM
GPU make/model, and driver version
GPU VRAM (unless MAC M1 or M2)
Any error message you might get
And a screenshot of your import screen may help.

Hi Dianes,

You're not in Develop mode, you're in the import dialog and Lightroom is waiting for you to import images. Lightroom is expecting you to choose a folder that has images needing to be imported.

Also, could you share a screenshot with us?

Regards,
Sahil

your import is set to "add" which means it will NOT be copying any files to a new location. This is bad if your source is not your hard drive.

I've tried switching it to copy, but each time it appears, which it's doing constantly it has the "add" selection lit. I'm not attempting to import anything right now, I'm trying to develop
