@Keith Reeder Nothing needs to be explained here except Adobe's rationale for designing things the way they do. John seems to frequently assume people are idiots when he responds (this is not the first time, and yes, I understand he's trying to be helpful). Here is my issue with all of this, lest you assume I haven't been using the LR interface since v.1: This is close to being usable, and yet not that usable because they effed it up in several ways. The 'Recent Items' folder should show the recent source folder you imported from, not the *actual* last folder you imported. Why would you want to default to selecting the last folder you already imported? [I acknowledge there are use cases where this would be useful, but not as the default behavior.] I get the OP's point, and yes, I added on the 97/3% 'bug', which works into the workflow aspect for the times when you are repeatedly importing from the same source folder. We should be able to assign default locations to import from in an asset management tool like Lightroom, as many of us do the same/similar actions every single day.
