No Lightroom import of .thm files

Hi,

I have started using Lightroom 1.0 with an initial import using "Import Photos at their Current Location". Everything went fine.

However, I tried importing photos directly from my memory cards, using "Copy Photos to a new location and Import". Pictures look fine in LR, but no .thm files were in fact imported in the folders ! Is there a way to activate this ? If not, why is this functionnality disabled ?

Thanks for your help,

LR does not need the .thm files.

It looks like it !
But I wanted to keep it for archiving reasons...

Looks like I'm going to have to go back to my old import workflow, which kind of defeats the principle of a unique workflow tool :-(

Why do you need the .thm files? I suggest converting to .dng files, but even if you leave them as .crw files, why do you need the .thm files?

Hi,

In my understanding, they contain valuable previews AND data, and when I download my memory card and archive my raw shots, I want to make sure that I take along everything that was generated by my camera. Then I can work with only the .crw file in LR or elsewhere, but at least the rest is correctly stored somewhere.

Whatever the reason for keeping them, does anybody know of a way to have Lightroom download these .thm files ?
