Change in lightroom or did I change something I should not have

[laurom34200452]

Hi all,

In the past when using plug ins to help me edit all the images would stack up with the most recent in changes being at the top.   What is happening now is that they are not stacking and they are given a number so what was one image, in the library is now 3 or 4 images.   Have I done something incorrectly when setting this up.   I would appreciate any help.   Thanks for reading .

What plugin?

Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Past that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs.

Go to Preferences - External Editing. At the bottom there is a 'Stack with Original' checkbox.

Stacking always places a number in the upper left hand corner of the thumbnail in the Film Strip section and when showing the Grid view in the center section.

Really need to see a screen shot of what you see on your screen of what you are asking about.
