Title: Options lost in file import dialog
Post by: ErikKaffehr on February 13, 2010, 05:15:00 pm

Hi,

A friend of mine has LR 2.6 (same as mine). On importing files from disk he gets only one option for file naming, namely "custom settings and edit". myself have many more, like nine. Custom Name (x of y) ... shoot name sequence.

Anyone having some idea why my friends LR is different? We are both using Mac OS X.

Best regards
Erik

The Filename Templates may have been deleted inadvertently (they are located in user/library/application support/adobe/lightroom/filename templates). To restore the default presets go to the Lightroom preferences and select presets/restore filename templates/. This will bring theme back.
