When uploading to SmugMug, when I create a new folder or gallery, the import dialogue does not refresh properly -- instead of showing the new gallery it duplicates a previous one in the list.  It also does not show a new folder or a new gallery when it is the only thing in the list upon creation.  You need to click away on another folder, then click on the original enclosing folder to see th new folder or the gallery.

Update: when you create a new gallery, it duplicates the top entry in the column where the galleries are listed.  When you click on the topmost one, it is refreshed to the new one.  So it's a question of simple refresh.

Thanks for reporting this. I'll attempt to reproduce the issue and let you know if I need any further information if I cannot.

Folks -- this is still not solved and is extremely annoying.

The bug is very simple: the first item in any SmugMug importer column is not showing up.  Create a folder, it will not show in teh next column until you switch to anothe folder and come back to the enclosing one.  Create a gallery in a folder, and if it's the first one it will not show until you click away from it and back on the folder.  I paid for a year subscription and then a perpetual license, can you please fix this?  I am uploading everything to SmugMig.

We now have a fix for this.  If you tell me what OS you use Photo Mechanic Plus on, I can make you a build that you can try out and see if the problem is really fixed.

Works great, thank you guys!
One small nit: the new gallery is not selected, would be great to have it selected upon creation so you can hit Send right away.
Also when uploading time after time I have to select the last folder again before I can create a new gallery, although it knows what it was, colored white.  And I have to always reselect the visibility for the new gallery from Private to Unlisted in my setup -- please make that sticky.

Please try this build.  It should address the first two concerns:
