No i had the "copy to new location and add to catalogue" set. It added to the catalogue alright, and the new folder, but i thought i would be able to see them ALL at the same time from the new folder, which i did not see on the left side in the catalogue window. > > Again, I don't understand your workflow.

Probably because i don't have a work flow yet for LR, i'm afraid. I don't use LR to download and catalogue the 1000 or so photos, i just DL to a directory and open as needed. Usually its 1-2 photos from 1 show so i just open them both, and there they are. Its when i need to open up from several folders, i can't seem to get them together and all show up on screen. It looks like i need the collection to do this. I have found it in the menus and will work on this. Again sorry to be confusing, BUT, help is much appreciated.
