Crop on Import ? very odd.
On import ( images from a camera card ) the images all showing up cropped on both sides.
What am I doing wrong ?

I read the thread you attached and It is odd indeed.
On the one hand going to the lens correction tab and moving the slider 100 > 0 does the trick - removing the unwanted crop.
However ,it does not correct the issue it all the time - And more confusing is the fact that the "crop on Import" is random and not consistent , which leads me to believe there is a Bug lurking in the shadows.
Thanks in any case0 -
In my case I do not get any crop on import for any of my Canon DSLRs. In fact the only camera I have noticed producing this effect is my Canon G1-X. Even that is consistent, the effect increases gradually as the zoom is set to shorter focal lengths and disappears when the zoom is set to longer focal lengths.

Which camera(s) do you use?
My SL and Q are also cropped during import. But thats o.k. because the sensor is larger than the 6.000 x 4.000 pixel.0 -

C1 will crop on import if you have a crop enabled. Make sure that you have no images cropped that is still in the sequence.
make sure your pointer is selected and not the crop icon0 -
... and it certainly does vary according to the lens and the focal length.

I was thinking it might have been due to the Crop tab highlighted in the browser window. I will make sure to deselect it in the future, though I believe it is wrong for any Application to behave in that manner. Import should be totally independent of our past actions, which is why there is an import popup window where we define the import parameters.
One of my cameras that does not show any crop on import is the SonyRX1 which has a fixed 35mm lens.
The others show inconsistent behaviour with zoom lenses .0 -

With modern cameras and planned lens distortion that is corrected in camera by software a fixed lens will usually have more or less "fixed" distortion and so the adjustments can be provided directly to RAW converter programs like Capture One and will always be the same. (For practical purposes.)
Zoom lenses, especially those that offer wide angle, are a different game and the required adjustments are likely to be different at different levels of zoom - especially at the wide angle end - and variable throughout the zoom range.
What you are losing in the crop is, generally, the poor content that you would not see at all if the physics and economics of lens design and production allowed the lens to be engineered with distortions removed.. How much to crop pis a software designer judgement call for the margins of where the image has been manipulated with pixels shuffled around, binned or perhaps added to un-distort the image. The designer will have to make a decision on what level of "adjustment" is acceptable without compromising standards during further editing processes. Such decisions my vary by a few pixels between the camera manufacturer's designers and third parties who are creating their own interpretations using alternative methods.
You can choose to never apply the crop that is offered by default and always make the crop decision yourself if you so wish. I have rarely found a reason to do so with any of my cameras. Only when a part of my subject (usually poor framing by me) looks like it might be recoverable by changing the crop does it become worth considering making my own decision.
HTH.
