I'm still having a problem with this, Godfrey. I set up the import the way you describe in the last paragraph above, i.e., into subfolders unchecked, and the subfolders suggested by Lightroom unchecked. Lightroom seems to have a mind of its own, however, at least my installation. It puts the dated folders in a subfolder of the folder I take myself to have set as the folder into which the images will be imported. I've put images of my settings and the result on Picasa. What am I doing wrong? [It's gotta be me! It can't be Lightroom!] https://picasaweb.google.com/103420210337495775480/LRImportSettingsAndResult?authkey=Gv1sRgCL7L2KTmldzwPA# Thanks, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
