The dropdown you are referring to determines how duplicate files are handled (meaning files that have identical content and are identical sizes). If you use Import->Local File, and import a PDF that matches of a PDF in the storage location, you absolutely will still see the dialog asking how you want to handle the conflict. Make sure that Settings->Storage->Create Subdirectory per Song matches what you are expecting, as that setting was switched off by default a little while ago, which causes confusion for some users, as they have some songs in folders, and some not, creating problems when importing new versions of files.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the info.
I can confirm what you are saying, but I did have odd behavior prior to posting this, which might point out a bug.
Yesterday I was importing a bunch of songs of which I knew up front there should be duplicates, I did not get any dialog asking me how to handle duplicates. Being really surprised and questioning myself whether I was sure there should have been duplicates, I imported more songs which were very definitely duplicates, still no dialog.
I then checked the two options and choose the other one (ignore), just to test, and that did exactly what it says, it ignored all duplicate files.
I then checked the songs, and indeed found duplicates, the imported songs were really imported and not overwritten.
After restarting MSP I did another try and this time I did see the dialog asking how to handle the imported files.
Oh, this is on a Windows tablet (yep, I posted in the wrong topic, sorry).
