Title: Importing Problem
Post by: davidperetz on February 11, 2022, 08:22:34 am

Hello

I have a problem when i try to configure the auto importer when i add a folder and sub folder option, the folder is not imported. i hit ok but nothing importing and when i re enter the auto import setting im not seeing that folder added.

i ran a quick search here and i saw that few others where having problems with auto importer as well but no answer to that problem

also when i click only import the specific folder without the sub directories, it imports

please help me figure and solve that out.

Edit the folder in the Import options and check the settings for file types.  Read about Import on the wiki.

i chose only images cause thats what i need for that folder

what i realized now is that it happening only in folder where there is a parent folder already in the list.

lets say i have d:\media  and child directories   is configured to video,audio importing.

now i want d:\media\pictures  and all child directories to import only image

it wont let me do that cause it see the d:\media already in the list , but it not configured to image

David - see if using the Import a Single Folder option will let you import those image files

For your top-level directory, you will want to select "Include this folder only" and then add any additional sub directories you want to import.

but if i chose import only this folder it wont do anything cause all i have under d:\media is several other folders like songs,pictures,movies,tv shows...

so i want the all sub directories under d:\media to import video and audio and just the pictures sub dir  to import images  so the setting look like this:
 
d:\media                   includes sub dirs         import audio,video
d:\media\pictures      includes sub dir           import image

but it wont let me add the d:\media\pictures if the d:\media is already chosen  even though its diff kind of files imported

Remove the top-level directory from your auto-import rules and treat each subdir as its own entry. As a positive side effect this will give you more granular control over your import rules for each subdir/media type.
