Photos 10 Sidebar

I've used "Imports" quite a bit, as well, but "Recents" may work just about as well. All "Imports" really has going for it is separating into import groups. Also, all pictures are in Recents, but some pictures can bypass Imports. I think I can adjust.

I'm finding the same thing. Imports is really handy. I do a lot of nature photography and will import photos while on the road. It is good when getting back home and tagging the images to easily and quickly know which day I imported them. At least Apple didn't take "imports" away completely.

Same here. I decided to wait until today to upgrade to Sequoia specifically because of concerns about the Photos app. I thought everything looked safe, since there were posts about customizing it to look pretty much like what you were using with Sonoma. This was the first thing that I hit, and it's so important for me to have instant access between Library and Imports that I've decided to roll back to 17.7. If it ever changes where I can move Imports back to the top, I'll be back. For now, I'll submit a feedback request. But at this rate, I probably won't be using Sequoia until next summer.

I usually make empty albums with the correct titles and then drag files directly from my SD (or CFexpress) card to the correct album.
