Plug in a card reader and your whole shoot lands in Photos, Files, your cloud drives or your NAS. • Clearer about what it's doing: it now tells you when a folder has no photos in it, instead of appearing to do nothing. • And it tells you when it isn't allowed to send you notifications, so a finished import never passes unnoticed.
