Everytime I export in classic, lightroom wants to name the file the same name from a picture I imported weeks ago. It never did this before that picture now it does it every time. I am not very tech savey (old and honest) so if anyone provdes an answer that requires getting into something I need specific instructions. This is also my first time in community so I hope I can figure out how to find my answer. Thanks

Sounds like you have accidentally (?) checked Rename To in the Export dialog.

This setting will stick until you turn it off, unless you are using an export preset which was saved with Rename To unchecked.

Please post a screen shot of the FULL Lightroom Classic export screen so we can see your settings.
