It can be done indirectly on Windows.
On OSX it won't work.

qDD connects to camera and downloads photos (image preview) to specific folder and LR is set to monitor this folder and import photos from it.
But there is
qDD:

and LR:
and it is very important that watched folder and destination folder are the same.

Should this not work the same on OSX? All those options do exist.

No, it won't work due to different file management in OSX.
LR starts importing photos just as they appear in folder and locks access to file but qDD needs time to download photo so cannot write to the file.
On Windows will happed exactly the same if you won't set source and destination as same folder because LR will move photo to destination folder before qDD finished downloading it.

I forgot to write about this to Zoltan and ask him if it is possible to chsnge how qDD downloads files. Will do it right now.
