Copy "New Photos" doesn't work in import dialog

Hello,
I am a new lightroom user on Lightroom 4.2.  When I import pictures from my SD Card I usually leave copies on the card for a while so I have them as backup, and to also be able to see recent pics on my camera.  However each time I go to import pictures from that card within LR, it defaults to selecting all pics on my SD card even though I have the "New Photos" filter selected at the top of the import box.   It always puts all my photos in the "New Photos" section, so I have to deselect all the photos that I have already imported into my catalogue so I don't get duplicates.  How do I get LR to only import pics that haven't been imported bfore?  
I am aware of the "Don't Import Suspected Duplicates" option, but that is not the samea as what I am looking for.   It only deselects photos that still exist in my catalogue.   Any photos that I have deleted from my catalogue remain selected in the import box as it doesn't see any duplicates.  
Any suggestions to what I'm missing to have LR only select photos that haven't been previously imported from that card?

Thanks Jim & Frans, let me clarify what I am currently experiencing with these 2 functions:
The "new photos" check box does not impact the number of photos selected for import, regardless if they are still in my catalogue or not.  So, even though my card has a mixture of pictures that have been previously imported and not imported, LR selects all the photos on the card for importing.   Checking or unchecking the "new photos" box, does not change the number of pictures selected for import.   I was hoping that selecting the "new photos" box would deselect any photots that have been previoulsy imported, but that is not the case, there is no change in the number of photos selected.  
The "Don't Import Suspected Duplicates" works as I expect it would.  When I check this box LR deselects any photos that still exist in my library.  While this works as expected, it doesn't serve what I would I am trying to acheive.  It is not very often that I would want to re-import photos that I have deleted from my library.   I likely deleted them because I don't want them anymore. 
To summarize, here is what I would "expect" to happen, just not sure if it is "supposed" to happen:
Checking "New Photos" should deselect any pictures that have been previously imported to LR, regardless if they are still in the library.
Checking "Don't Import Duplicates" should deselct any pictures that still exist in the library. 
If that's not the case, then perhaps someone could explain the purpse of the "new photos" check box. 
Thanks

  • Safari copy url button doesn't work

    I just upgraded from an ipad2 to an iPad air 2. Before, if I wanted to copy and paste a url I'd use the copy button. Now,on the new iPad air 2, the copy button just wipes out whatever I've previously copied, and doesn't copy the url.

    You tap and hold down in the URL field until you get the option to select all. Then you choose the option to select all. An option to Copy appears and you select that and then you should be able to paste that URL into a text field.
    Safari copy url button doesn't work
    I Realize that you must know the steps but I am just double checking. If that is not working for you, and you are not having copy and paste issues elsewhere in other apps, I would try clearing Safari, force close it and then reset your iPad.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
    Now force close Safari. In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • New Version Doesn't Work On ESPN

    All I get is the black box on most of espn.com. The problem started when I downloaded the new version. I can watch video on most sites; but the screen simply stays black, with no arrows or control bar at the bottom (play, volume, etc.) on espn.com and a couple of others. I've tried most of the "fixes" I've found, to no avail. I'm using FP version 10.3.181.34 and IE 8 with Windows 7 on a laptop. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and it still doesn't work. I don't have any adblock software, and I've tried it with a pop-up blocker on and off, and it still doesn't work. I've tried it with hardware acceleration enabled and disabled, and it still doesn't work. I've increased and decreased my security settings to every available level and tried it, and it still doesn't work.
    Hard to believe this is an improvement. Now I can't remember what my old version was, or I'd just go back to it... it worked with everything on every site.

    Perhaps to somebody who spends most of their time on a computer, and makes it their business to know how to do all these things, it isn't jumping through hoops. For someone with no time and less patience for such tasks, and who expects a computer company and its hardware and software manufacturers to automatically provide working updates for the equipment they paid good money for, it is a burden. I have spent hours trying to either update that driver or find out why it's a bad idea to do so. I happen to believe them when they advise against it, and suggest it could have other negative effects on other aspects of the system. Not only do I believe it, it's happened to me on more than one occasion over the years; so I'm understandably hesitant to discard the advice of the manufacturer and give it a try on my own.
    I updated all my drivers from the Dell driver update utility; and like the Intel site said, there isn't an updated one for my adapter. So, my choices appear to be, try the driver that isn't necessarily designed for my system, and hope for the best; or just uninstall the new version of FP, and reinstall the previous version that worked just fine. Because I'm not savvy enough to undo any potentially disastrous consequences from using the wrong driver, I'm leaning toward the latter resolution. I'm also having a tough time understanding how that single driver update is going to make my FP finally work for only the ESPN site. As I said, with the current driver, it works on virtually every other site, and the old version of FP, with the current driver, worked on every site, bar none. So, essentially I'd be installing a whole new driver that may or may not make my FP work on a single site. See what I'm getting at? It doesn't seem plausible that the driver was designed for the sole purpose of making one application work on a single site. Thanks for all the assistance; I appreciate everyone who devoted so much time to my issue.

    Installing a simple driver update is "jumping though the hoops"...?  I don't know why the Intel utility gave you that strange message; another easy way to update your outdated drivers is http://drivermax.com/ - the free version allows up to two driver downloads per day.

  • New photo doesn't show up after updating page.

    Hi all,
    I created a page and uploaded it to my site. Later I added a new photo at the bottom of the page, added a stroke around it and added some text as well. I saved the page in iWeb and uploaded it to my server. Everything looks good in iWeb but the new photo doesn't show up on my site. The text is there as well as the stroke around the photo, but no photo. I have tried resaving and reuploading. I have also cleared my cache. Also, the file for the photo is now in the folder on my computer. It's like iWeb displays the images but hasn't saved it on my hard drive. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Hello Tracy,
    First, hit refresh once or twice when you are at the offending page. Next, a few questions: what browser are you using and are you hosting on .mac or another service?
    If refreshing the page doesn't fix the problem try and verify if the photo is being uplaoded online. Do this by checking under the support files for that particular page.
    Here is an example of how to do that from my site: http://web.mac.com/ekashley/iWeb/Ash%20Films/Welcome.html has a large image of an orchid. I can verify that the file is there by going to http://web.mac.com/ekashley/iWeb/Ash%20Films/Welcome_files/Color%20Orchid.png and the photo will load by itself, proving it is there.
    An easier way would be just to look under your idisk folder. But there is more then one way to verify.
    Kind Regards,

  • I'm having trouble with my iCloud photos. I thought i could be a little sneaky and take a photo of my photos that were more than 30 days old, so they would be uploaded along with my new photos. that part worked, but i can't upload them to Snapfish?!

  • 9800 new battery doesn't work

    hello
    I bought a new battery for my torch, cause the old one draines very quickly. so the new battery doesn't work, it has an X and the OS doesn't load. I've reinstaled 3 times the OS so it's not this problem. also I've charged the battery 1 day, with blackberry original charger.
    I've tried every step I found on forums but with nou luck
    any help please..
    the battery it's new, it's the same as the original one, I don't know if it's original 100% but it's the same as the one I had before.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
    If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    If the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you should investigate more harsh remedies...WIPE, OS Reload, OS Update, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, "Bare Bones" diagnostic reload process, etc.
    Good luck and let us know!

  • Itunes on new computer doesn't work

    Just setb up a new Imac and Itunes doesn't work.  Says it is because it was copied from a previous Itunes.  If want to download just do so, but I don't get an option at all.

    Hello Myrita
    Check to make sure that iTunes is up to date. Alternatively, you could create a new iTunes library and then import the media that is already on the iMac. The articles below will assist you further.

  • Does the new Photo app duplicate images on import (wasting drive space), or simply reference them like Picasa does?

    Picasa simply references the original images, and any edits you make to the images leaves the original unharmed. This is the grown-up way to manage images. iPhoto and all, I really mean ALL other photo apps make this mistake of duplication of images on import - but not Picasa. I had iPhoto crash numerous times because it could not handle a large number of images. Picasa is way better than any Apple app thus far - so I'm wondering - does this new Photo app make the same mistake as all the others except Picasa? If it does duplication on imports, then it's doing it wrong.

    Instead of instinctively condescending like a grouch, you could have simply replied with the right answer and made me look bad, instead you only made yourself look bad Terence The Devil.
    The real answer is that there is an option in the preferences that allows one to select whether to copy images in or just reference them.
    Under Importing all one has to do is Un-check the "Copy items to the Photos Library" setting.
    The only issue I have at this point is that it should be un-checked as a default.

  • "Get Info" - new shortcut doesn't work

    I'm trying to create a more convenient keyboard shortcut for "Get Info" on iTunes, since I use it a lot. I want to replace Command-I with F19 on a full-size aluminum Apple keyboard.
    Using the Application Shortcuts I entered F19 as the new "Get Info" shortcut, and iTunes duly shows F19 on the menu; Command-I does not work any longer. So far so good - the problem is that it doesn't work on iTunes. It works in the Finder, I can invoke the Info window of a file that way now, but neither an universal All Applications shortcut or an iTunes specific one will bring up the information of a track, which is what I want.
    Any ideas? This seems to be a genuine bug, since the menu is updated properly - it just fails to work.

    Yes, of course. I understand you're just trying to rule out the obvious first.

  • Clicking on "+" to open new tab doesn't work

    Closeing firefox and restarting doesn't fix problem. Using firefox 3.6 on windows xp, I don't want to upgrade to newer version, since there doesn't not appear to be a navigation bar on the newer version.

    Thank you for your response Cor-el. In fact the Ask.com toolbar had recently appeared on my browser, and I immediately turned it off since I didn't want it. It's frustrating how they can sneak these things in on us sometimes in spite of our attempts to keep so much clutter out. So this issue of the new tab button not working anymore in Firefox 3.6, even after turning off the Ask.com toolbar, it was finally enough to make me cave in to the constant badgering to upgrade to Firefox 4.0 ... Christ these endless upgrades are annoying ... Adobe Acrobat Reader has to be the worst offender in this category. Anyway, after installing Firefox 4.0, there was a terrible glitch, which was an error message box that popped up every single time I clicked on any link on any page. This was the last straw. One can only bear so much, then one is forced to look for new answers. I installed Google Chrome. Naturally the interface, look and feel are quite different from Firefox, but after less than 24 hours with Google Chrome, I am really liking it. It is truly a step up in the browsing experience it provides; so fast, and the way it handles bookmarks is so nice; even sophisticated. Oh, and about the relentless nagging upgrade messages from all manner of software that have caused us all so much suffering over the years, Google Chrome upgrades itself automatically behind the scenes without any need to bother you about such trifle maintenance issues. I recommend it to everyone. Step up to a new enlightened browsing experience People! Try Google Chrome and you'll be glad you did!

  • QuickTime movies cannot display properly, refresh doesn't work propely for html files on hard disk, opening a new tab doesn't work

    Hi!
    I have tried Firefox V4 (but have since reused V3.6.16). The following problems were found:
    a. Cannot display the controls used for QuickTime movies.
    b. The refresh button doesn't function at all if the html files reside on the hard disk. I do this because I need to test the appearance of the web page before uploading to the server.
    This problem also exists for v3.6.14 to v3.6.16
    c. When opening a new tab, it doesn't work. Instead, it will open another instance of the browser. By right, it has to open the web page on the same instance of the browser.
    This is my feedback.
    Thanks!!!!! :)

    I had some advice to try recording QT audio and adding to the slide.  Now, when recording to Quicktime, it does embed it, but in recording the presentation, it either doubles up the audio giving a strange echo or does the same thing if you ever edit the presentation.
    The problem Keynote has is that the sound and image content are not locked together which causes out of sync errors. This is why many users choose video editing applications when using sound in the presentations, as they have both image and audio tracks to sync sound properly together.
    Start a new presentation to remove the previous sound recording, Keynote is holding onto the other sound files.
    Add the graphic items to each slide and one sound file to each slide for the voice over
    1 - In Inspector > Transitions;  use start transitions automatically and set each transitions delay to the duration of the individual sound file.
    2 - In QT export, set Fixed Timing and delete the value in the duration box, QT will then use the custom timings for each individual slide.
    This procedure does work exactly as needed, Iv used this for nearly 6 years using 4 different versions of Keynote.

  • Open new jframe doesn't work when put into jar

    I cant get my program to open up a new frame. When i run my program from netbeans it works fine but when i put it into an executable jar it doesn't work.

Please help.

    well, if that's the code you use for all three, and
    they are different classes, maybe you should call the
    right class name?
    The code you posted isn't helpful, and I can't begin
    to guess what you're doing wrong.nah, i use

    its better to change the name on the left of the top folder (pic folder to pictures, or Blog to blogs) then the whole underlying pages will be actual. once done and upload, just rename it back to the original. ( Pictures back to Pic or similar)
