Christine, Try importing a new file. Open the dialogue box and check where it is putting the new imports. I had similar problems when Lightroom (or Bob?!?) started nesting new files underneath an older directory. It took me a while to recognize it, and then I had to un-nest the directories. (I've been putting all my exports in a directory Export2010 - works great for finding them.) Regards, Bob S.
