I asked the technical support on Feb 2nd, 2022 of MAGIX however no answer and being disappointed by npo reaction till now so perhaps somebody can help me :

I´d like to ask you for a help. I have my photos in folders nested deeper ( Photos -> Photos1 -> Photos 2 ..etc ). Is it possible to drag & drop only top folder into working timeline and all photos to be imported ? It would be great help or some other process used to be done ? Thanks for your help ..

Thanks for any comment how to solve it.

Hi

When you drag a folder containing images/video onto the Photostory timeline/storyboard, it will load only the images in that folder, subfolder scanning/loading is not a feature of the program.

@Juraj-Majcher

Nothing is different in the 2022 version as regards your question.

The only option for you is to copy ALL the images you wish to use into ONE dedicated folder, with no sub-folders etc., and use that folder in PS.
