Q: photos import

I am a long time iPhotos user and something that was easy in iPhotos doesn't seem to be supported in Photos.  Can someone confirm?

 

I have a thumb drive with 1000's of photos in folders.  In iPhoto I check the drive name and Import.  But in Photos it doesn't let me select just the drive.  I tried selecting all the folders but after a long time it showed a few photos for review but the Import bottom was greyed out.

 

So am I stuck importing each directory one at a time?  There are 100's.

 

In the end I deleted the Photos library and returned to using iPhotos which is still available.  Works great.

 

Am I missing something?
