Photoshop file name adds suffix

My client emails photoshop images to me. I often open them multiple times to preview. However when I go to save the file it adds a number in parentheses at the end of the file name which seems to suggest the number of times it has been viewed (eg) Shopfront [3].jpg. Is there amy way to stop the file adding this numbered suffix?

I have the same problem opening rawfiles through Adobe Bridge and Camera Raw. Once I have opened the file and saved it as a jpg, after rescaling it through an action, but then decide that I need to go back to camera raw to change some settings, then opening it again I get a suffix counting up the more times I open it. The only way around that is to shut down photoshop and reopening it again, which I am doing a lot now, but it is very annoying and time consuming and clearly a photoshop problem not a bridge or outlook problem. I keep checking for updates every day but so far no luck and the problem persists. I am using Photoshop 24.6.0 on an M2 MacBook Pro running Ventura 13.4.1 (c) (22F770820d)

Seems to be coming from Outlook Mail and not just image files https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/e-mail-file-attachments-being-numbered/1b2a5416-977f-4446-b27f-5d0869425dee

Nothing that Photoshop is causing.

OK thank you, I'll look further into it.

It would be best to fix this upstream... That being said, as a last resort, a custom Photoshop script could automate the duplication, renaming and closing of the original file when opening such documents using the Script Events Manager.
