Import dialog does not show TIFF or JPG previews?

BobRockefeller
When I import images in JPG or TIFF format from a folder, the previews of those images are not shown - I just get the title and a blank square the the preview should be.

If I import one of those images, it is added to the catalog properly and I can see the thumbnail in the browser.

Am I doing something wrong with the import dialog?

Has anyone else see this happen?

    check you don't have a global filter set to exclude them.

    No filter. I see the square the preview should be in and the file name. But no preview.

    The same thing happens with me - so we're either both doing something wrong or it's a bug. I've not got a solution though unfortunately.

    The lack of previews is just within the import dialog, once they're actually imported they preview fine. I'd typically have 5 tiffs per 100 RAW in an import.

    I have just had a look (using the Windows version of C1P V9) at importing some TIFF files that were created with a Nikon Coolscan and I am getting the same effect - no previews in the Import window, just a black space and the filename.

    I had a look at one of the TIFF files and it doesn't appear to contain an embedded thumbnail, I suspect that C1 needs one to be able to display anything before it has imported the whole file.

    C1 has always have issues to display Tiff. Specially if they are big and multi layers. Did you try to wait a few minutes the import window opened ?

    Yes, I've waited quite some time. These particular TIFFs are about 500 or 600 MB with no layers.

    I find this also, but I am still on C1 8.

    This happens to me too when I import film scans. It’s a nuisance, but it’s not difficult to just import the whole batch and then delete the ones I don’t want from the catalog. Should be fixed though.

    I have same problem. It is confusing because i am not sure the files I want will be imported.

    I just found the same issue, I tried to import some jpg files from my desktop and they don't show up in the import window. They are fine once imported. I haven't seen this while importing from a card.
