[QUOTE="fforde, post: 654933, member: 52082"] Probably something is maintaining a lock on a file in the directory, I could be wrong here, but I suspect this is the problem. Say you are copying a new movie into your watch folder: [CODE] In the Mouth of Madness\mouth-of-madness-part1.avi In the Mouth of Madness\mouth-of-madness-part2.avi [/CODE] Moving Pictures will not start importing [I]any[/I] files from this folder until the file system lock on [I]all[/I] of these files has been released. In most cases this means it will not start importing until you are done copying files into the folder, because while a file is being copied the OS locks that file. The purpose of this is to make sure that if there are any multi-part movies in the folder, they get detected properly. This also ensures that a file has been completely copied over before a file hash is calculated (this is needed for detecting when a movie has been moved while Moving Pictures is offline). What you are seeing probably is not from the lock by the Copy Files dialog though. Anything that is [I]reading the file[/I] could cause a lock. [/QUOTE]
