With network drives it is faster, but it still takes forever and brings my network speed to a crawl when it finds new media....

Or was that not directed towards me?

Well, if you do not check the box, you import but do not add the folder to Otto's list.
So, would that not be the same as the 11.x import?

glynor:
One folder at a time and I can't use excludes.  That's not really workable.  As I said, I have a number of locations where media gets saved, on a variety of machines.  I use MC to import it, catalog it, and re-distribute it (via Rename Files From Properties) to where it's supposed to "live" permanently.

I need to be able to use the Import Media function in MC 11, but choose a subset of those folders to watch.  I'm really surprised that I'm the only one who cares about this frankly...

Could be that everybody's using different workflows. Me for instance. I always rip my music into one directory, clean it with proper filenames, cover art and tags. Then I run MP3Gain on it. THEN, I move the files to the proper music directory and import it. Same goes for video.
