P: Photos imported twice every time

  • December 24, 2017

Somehow when I import photos from my camera, Lightroom duplicates all of them and creates a "...-2.jpg" file for every single photo.

Both sets of photos show up in the library and in "develop". I have to sort them out and delete all the "...-2.jpg" files.

How do I stop this function? Thank you.

The LrC Team has not been able to reproduce this behavior. 

 

For those of you who are experiencing this behavior:

  1. OS Version Number?
  2. Current installed Lightroom Version Number?
  3. Camera Model?
  4.  Connection method for memory card (Camera Direct, Internal Card Reader, External reader, Copy to Hard Drive, etc)
  5.  Repeatability (every time, some times, seldom)

 

Note: The only time I've seen this personally, was direct camera connect on a 5D Mark IV with internal cards set to mirror.

This has been working as expected for me in the last two or so updates (even before the official release notes stated it was fixed)! Thank you!

The workaround for this issue is to import using the file structure, which is below the memory card that shows up at the top left in the import dialog.

I have just recently started getting this problem, when I didn't before.  And I don't believe anything has changed in my hardware or software.

I use LR Classic 11.3.1

On Mac OS  Catalina 10.15.7

Camera Nikon Z6 ll transferring the files using a card reader

Such a frustrating problem that I can see many people are experiencing

Thanks

Colin

Hi, as (partly) mentioned in my posting:

  • macOS (11.6.1, 12.2.1)
  • LR-C 11.1
  • iPhone 13 Pro (15.2, 15.3.1)
  • Lightning Cable
  • Every Time

And to make it clear: That problem started after the last or the one update before of Lightroom.

Regards . Götz

I can reproduce this when importing from a Canon 5D MK IV and adding keywords.  i can avoid duplicates by not adding keywords until after import.  hope this helps

    I see that this is from 2017, but it is now 8th December 2021, and I am having thie same issue.
    This is a new issue for me, and nothing has changed in to. provoke this issue, other than a new install of LR-C on my new computer.
    Has anyone found a resolution to this? It appears unresolved in this thread.

    thanks in advance

      This is a new issue for me too. The strange thing is, it only duplicates files from imports off of my D750 and not my Z6!

      I am having the same issue with a Ricoh Griii and a Ricoh GriiiX, but not with my Sony cameras or my Leica Q2. I am shooting in Raw and Lightroom converts the files to two DNGs... I would lvoe to know what's going on. t started about six weeks ago. Before that I never had the issue. I am using a 2017 iMac Pro.

      I am having this same issue, I use my card reader to import into Lightroom. I updated the firmware on my camera (same camera) and continue with the same issue.

          What are your import settings.

          Do a test import of some photos you shoot around the house and take a screen shot of the import window and post it here.

          What OS are you using?

          What exact version of LR are you running? Open LR go to the Help menu then System Info and post the exact LR version.

          What camera are you using and how do you get the images from camera memory card to computer.

          Card reader or connecting the camera directly to the computer.

          Would you please take a screen shot of the import windows and post it to this thread.
