I am using LR6 on Windows 10. i7, 32GB, 4TB of SSD.
I am adding JPGs to my library. When I add them, they do not show as greyed out as if they already existed. When I hit the add photos button, it gives me a dialog that says "Some photos were not added. Duplicate items.).
These are not duplicate. I have searched my library for that name and nothing exists. I rename the files, adding a unique prefix (prefix-orginalname.jpg) and I get the same behavior. It is not just doing this on a couple of files, it is doing it on all the files in the import batch (about 30).
I have tried files from different folders and keep getting the same error. I have restarted LR and get the same behavior.
I assume duplicate check is name, date and file size. So if I changed the name, if it was a duplicate, it would then import.
Here is a loom of me getting the error. https://www.loom.com/share/f454ca5be0e94ad6aa50044d19621897
