[Leica] Help? Lightroom refusing to import

[Aram Langhans]

This is what i was going to suggest.  DNG converter will put them into a 
folder then you can just import them from there, or if you put it into 
an existing folder you can use the synchronize folder feature of LR.

I have to do this with my new Nikon Z7ii since I am using LR 6 and it 
has not idea what to do with the new Z camera files.

OF course, this is assuming that the files are RAW files.  IF they are 
JPEG files, the I have no idea why they will not import. You said PS 
will open them.  I guess you could put them all in PS and then save them 
as TIFF or PSD files to get them into LR.
