Lightroom imports automatically, why ?


Recommended Posts

have a problem with Lightroom. As soon as I connect one of my Sandisk?s they

immediately Lightroom opens and the import dialog starts up. That is not what I

prefer as I am not in need of opening ID photos with Lightroom. Is there a way

in the preferences perhaps to stop that from happening. (I also have the EOS

utility that starts up at the same time.)

I'm quite new to Lightroom. Although I'm on LR 1.1, my dialog box is more like the attached image than the screenshot that Ellis posted. Maybe it's a difference between the PC and MAC versions. Anyhow, if I chose 'when a memory card is detected <do nothing>', I still found that LR would start up as soon as I inserted a memory card (although with the 'do nothing' setting, it wouldn't go straight to the import dialog).

 

After a bit of digging, I learned that if you find the file adproxy.exe and rename it to adproxy.xxx (or similar), LR won't start up when you insert a memory card. All other functionality of LR seems unaffected, but I don't know if this will have an impact on other Adobe products.
