In-place import LR 2 vs LR 3

[patrickcorrigan]

My standard import procedure is to first use the standalone DNG converter to convert images to DNG and to place them into my standard directory structure. I then import them into LR using the "add" option, which leaves them in place. With LR 2 the entire directory path was displayed in the LR catalog. Those images imported with LR 2 still display this way in LR 3. Images imported with LR 3, however, only display the immediate parent directory in the catalog instead of the entire path. Does anyone know how to change this behaviour?

Thanks.

Right click the folder and choose "Add parent folder".

Thanks John. Is there a way to make this the default behavior?

Only by adding the parent, then its parent, and so on until you get high enough up in the folder tree into which you're importing new files. Promote Subfolders is the opposite of Add Parent.

Thanks. I found the initial problem and it was (surprise!) Operator Error. I had somehow imported my original RAW files, which were in a similar directory structure, instead of my DNGs.
