One of my beefs with Import is that while it does handle copying
directly off the card reasonably well, I doesn't handle images that
are there already nearly as well. I'm still a heavy film shooter and
Lightroom is rather much of a PITA for dealing with my scan-based
workflow, especially due to how I handle archiving of scanned images.
I'm pretty sure Lightroom wasn't written for the film based
photographer.
All you need to do is import in place on the scan files ... scan them
into the directory you want them to be placed in, then import. I use
LR for all my scanned images too. It does a very good job. I embed
metadata at time of importing and tell LR to embed it into the scan
TIFF files.
I don't know what LR has to do with archiving the scanned images
either. Everything in my photo-files directories is organized in the
directory tree archived the same way ... digital capture or scan is
irrelevant.
I don't understand the antipathy towards using keyword metadata to
allow intelligent search and organization. It's very easy to do and
provides a wealth more information than juggling filenames and
directory structures.
