P: Import is creating OS - level duplicate files named (-2) when using Devices rather than Files

@Rick

Not to pile on, but I'm also having the same issue as decribed here. It started with the version that introduced the Hue slider to the local adjustments (9.3?) at the time I checked with support and their solution was for me to downgrade and wait for an update to resolve the issue. Now I'm on ver. 10 of Classic (and Creative Cloud says I'm up to date) and I'm still having the same issue. On import, LRC displays both the RAW and sidecar jpeg files and imports both. I have the setting to NOT treat the jpegs as separate files. Following the advice of Support the last time, I uninstalled and reinstalled. Fixed the problem for only one import. Then back to the same problem. What's going on? HOW to fix? Permanently. This is annoying now.

Same problem for me after updating last version!!!

I have the same problem . Importing file after update is creating 2 files for the same picture . It’s making a duplicate!!!! What the heck!!! Imagine when you import 3000 pictures 

Me too, it's driving me crazy, is there any way to quickly identify and delete the duplicates while we wait for a fix?

I'm still having this issue. I have the most-recent version of lightroom classic installed.
