Hi All. I'm new to PhotoDirector, just trying the evaluation version. I can import a folder OK but I want to import subfolders as well. The tutorial say make suree the 'Import subfolders' button is pressed - but I can't find it.
Is it available in my trial version? Is so, where?
Thanks in advance.

Hello RichardJ,

Welcome to the PhotoDirector forum

I'm not familiar with the trial version interface, but I'd expect this feature to be the same as the paid version.

After you select Import > Folder, then navigate to the parent folder containing your sub-folders, PhD should provide this option in the Photo Import window.

If you have it checked, then import the parent folder, you'll see the subfolders displayed in the Library.

Hi PIX, thanks. Your screenshot seems to show a different dialogue box for selecting the folder. The attached screenshot shows what I get - it's the standard Windows 10 box.

I found it!

I hadn't realised I had to select the folder first, which takes me to a 'Select phots' screen,

Thanks for the help.

Hello again Richard,

I'm glad you were able to locate the "Include Subfolders" option.

It makes this screen capture a little superfluous, but I'll post it here in case it's of use to other members.
