don't forget the path does not stop at the end of the folder name.

It's possible that you imported this folder previously, then removed it from MC.  By default, MC skips files that were previously deleted.

Hi, no hidden or system files.

If i name the folder :   M:\Download\FLAC\Gregory Porter\Issues Of Life Features And Remixes

It wont import the files

If i name the folder :  M:\Download\FLAC\Gregory Porter\Issues Of Life Features And 1234567

So same length .. It will import the files .....

pretty strange

File > Options... > Library & Folders > click Configure auto-import... then uncheck the box Ignore files previously removed from library. Run the import and see if it imports now.

Hi, i already tested that without any result. Now i renamed the folder to .......1 (addinf just a 1 at the end of the name - so in fact changing the name )  and it now seems to fix the data in the library 

Imported 0 new files.
Fixed 13 broken links. (12 fixed, 1 removed)
Updated 12 files that had external changes.

cant really get my grip on this and wondering what other files i miss ..

What happens if you now remove the 'ending' 1 and rename the folder back to its original name?
