Previous versions would ask if you want to skip pictures that have already been imported from the camera. Just loaded up 04 and it imported everything without asking, leaving me to delete all the duplicates. Grrr. Have I missed something or has this essential feature been removed?

nope you are not missing anything. I asks. What I have found it does when importing from another folder is that it also imports the thumbnails. View by roll and delete the thumbnail ones. They will be listed by date image number then thumbs after it.

I have imported dups and it always asked if I wanted to replace them or not.

Mine doesn't ask though. iPhoto 2 started to import from the camera, and as soon as it realised there were duplicates a box popped up asking if you wanted to skip them. Now it just imports everything from the camera without asking. A total pain and if the feature has been removed somebody at Apple needs to have their brain tested!

is anyone getting funky roll numbers? i imported a couple of sets of photos and the roll numbers are all jumbled up, and on top pof that they import in random order.

I had this happen with my first import into iPhoto 4 as well. What I realized was that I had imported pictures from my camera in iPhoto 2, forgotten to erase the camera afterwards, then taken more pictures. When I imported into iPhoto 4, it did not ask if I wanted to skip the duplicates. After clearing the duplicates manually, I cleared my camera and took one test picture. I imported it once, disconnected the camera, and imported again. This time it did ask if I wanted to skip the duplicate. So, I wonder if it had something to do with the transition from iPhoto 2 to iPhoto 4. I have not tested again, so I don't know if the problem is permanently gone.

As a side note, iPhoto 4 shows a picture of my actual digital camera instead of the generic camera icon. Bonus!

I must admit I thought that might have something to do with it - will try it later when I get the chance.
