Importing

Why is when i go to import and click desktop is starts loading every file and not show folders like it used todo.

fcpx 10.6 os 10.8

Can you post a screen shot of what you're seeing? On the desktop in the import window I see folders and files, some are grayed out, others are not.

those pics are inside folders, instead of showing me folders and whats on my desktop it just shows every file on my desktop and no sorted out.

Are all those images inside a folder? There is probably some folder that is being read as a camera archive because the window has opened into camera import function.

yes all those photos are. its opening every folder not just one. It only does this with the desktop.

Is there a folder on the desktop with a name like Video or Private or DCIM or something the application will interpret as a camera archive? You're not trying to import using the camera import function are you?

If there is something open like this





FCP will see it as a camera and open everything on the desktop in camera import mode. Put this stuff in a folder and it should be hidden from the application. Do this with the application closed.

yup, i updated to 10.8 and have been leaving my sony fs700 files on the desktop now cause how easy they are to open lol

thank you
