The three words- "hitting new catalog," have me worried that you may be re-importing files to a 'new catalog' each time you import.

Can you confirm that you are always using the (one an only) same catalog to 'Add' or 'Copy'  photos in the Import process.?

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

Can you explain this "transferring" in more detail, step-by-step? Can you show us a screen capture of the multiple photos that you see? (Please use the "Insert Photos" icon to include screen captures in your reply) 

 

Also please state your version NUMBER of Lightroom Classic, and the version NUMBER of your Windows.
