Otto's Gone Schizo
Marty3d:
One thing that has struck me is that the Otto dialog is so similar to the former Import dialog, now Library -> Add folder to library. Shouldn't these two actually be combined instead?

Always do manual import as well, i liked the options in the import dialog as it gave an indication what to expect also it seemed the relevant place.
Now the import options are buried inside the options dialog. I tried an import and was surprised to see it just imported with no dialog whatsoever. No familiar switch to the recently imported viewscheme either.
GHammer:
Hmmm, I see that the Menu selection name changed.
And there is now an option to watch the folder you are adding.
Yes, you can do it from Options as well.
But otherwise it is the same as the old import dialog, same things to select not select. Well, you get the added bonus of not importing folder.jpg files! Finally I can import images and not have to go delete useless ones.
I must be slow this week because I truly do not see the problem. A requested feature has been added. Another requested change (ignore folder.jpg) was added. You can uncheck any of these and have the same old import.
Myself? I like the new method, like Otto, and love the exclusion of folder.jpg.
Perhaps you all should try it, poke at the options, see how it actually works.
You know, like you're testing new stuff.
Alex B:
The manual start should be easier (currently: Tools > Options > Library > Check Folders Now...). At least a Toolbar button would be good to have.
Also, it is a bit complicated to quickly change the included and excluded folders. I find myself going back and forth between the main "Library" options category that shows the folder list and the "Add Folder... > Browse > Browse... / Exclude Folder..." windows. (Which are three steps away.)
Ideally these functions and the folder list should be available on a single options window.
A schedule option would be nice too.
Matt:
We recommend leaving "Enable watch folders" checked.
Then there's no need to ever manually use "Check Folders Now..."
Maybe the options dialog should be revised to make this more clear.
