I am trying to import NEF image files from my external hard drive into lightroom classic. When I open the file with said images in, in the import window, I am met with a seemingly empty folder (see below). This is the same for all folders on my computer, on my external hard drive and on the mac itself.
This issue came about after I used Tether Capture (which still works fine). Now, when I want to import images instead of using Tether Capture, this issue occurs.

Try this
Click on COPY (yes, I know you want to ADD, but click on COPY anyway), then make sure the Destination Panel is present (if it is not, the right-click on File Handling and select Destination); make sure the folder selected in the Destination Panel is an actual folder on your computer; then click back on ADD.
