TOPIC: Batch Photo Upload Issues....Stalling out

I am running the latest version of HIP on my MAC (newer, with no known issues), and am trying to Batch Add photos (taken with a Fuji Film digital camera, files transferred from SD card to MAC hard drive and are viewable on MAC with no problem). However, the batch upload does not work. It looks like my settings got changed on my camera to 16MP, however, the file size of the photos is around 4MB each. They will not batch add, but my FLIR photos will... I have even tried to move the photos to separate folders with 20 pics to a folder.

Any ideas? Help!!!
