[Leica] Adobe Lightroom's Newest Update (RicCarter)

Fri Oct 16 14:58:27 PDT 2015

I want my hard drives to show up in LR with exactly what is on them.  When
I have duplicates, as I do for every file, the new Import refuses to import
them.  It shows that hard drive H has 19,000 files when it really has
51,000 files because some of them are duplicates.  There is no way around
this with the new Import.  The new Import means that Synchronize Folder has
no meaning whatsoever.  And I used that all the time!!  I am wasting time
trying to deal with this. You can sign a petition to ask them to bring back
the old Import:

Please sign, if you care about it.
