I think I've figured out the only decent workaround for this problem but wanted to make sure I haven't missed the obvious.
I run LR CC 2015 up to date on a MacBook Pro with my catalog on the local drive and the images over on a network volume.
When I edit an image from LR in Bridge or Photoshop or some other apps (Snapheal and ON1 for instance)…the final edited image comes back into LR automatically. For my HDR processed images…done with up to date Photomatix Pro v6…the final image doesn't go back into LR and I have to save it then import separately.
The only way I've found to get it to auto import is using LR's watched folder and auto import setup…but that won't work to a network volume. So I have to let it auto import and then move the original image file to the correct year/month folder out on my network storage volume.
I've tried saving the final image back to the year/month folder directly from Photomatix and then rescanning the folder in the Library module…which works and imports the image but isn't really any less work than using the auto import watched folder function and moving it.
Is there something I'm missing or is this really the only way to get the final images back in?
