iPhoto -- importing not working right, help!!

Importing Photos
To import photos by dragging, drag individual photos or an entire folder from the Finder into iPhoto’s photo viewing area. If you drag a folder, a film roll is created with the folder’s name. If the folder you import contains subfolders, film rolls are created with each subfolder’s name.

This isn't working at all! When I try this, it just dumps all my pictures into the main library, with no albums or film rolls!

I have over 3500 photos organized in the Finder, by folder names. I want to preserve these folder names as film rolls or albums.... how do i do it?

Under the "View" menu, are you sure you have it set to view by "Film Rolls?"

I figured it out... that was the problem... still, even this cannot replace the finder. All subfolders that are changed to film rolls would become all disorganized
