I’ve had every version of DxO PureRAW, and the “Lightroom Collection Import” section has always been a problem. I like it to go to “Current Collection” but that choice never sticks for long.

Thank you! I’ll look into this, but since this post has so little activity, I’m also going to file a bug report with DxO. The behavior has degraded badly since the last minor update.

I think I found the solution. Delete all my Custom Presets, then re-create them from scratch, with “Current Collection” selected before saving the preset.
