Hello!
Since I updated to the last version of premiere (CC 2018 v12.0) I've noticed it has been generating new data files with the same name and extension plus "_1", "_2", etc. Look:
Its not a problem to generate data files, but why now it keeps with the same extension? This way is hard to separate what is video and what is data, for exemple, if i want to copy only the videos to an editor, or if i want to drag the video files directly on Plural Eyes... Its really annoying.
Someone know how can I solve this problem?
Thank you very much!

This is on the hard drive, or in the bins?

This is on the hard drive.
I noticed it stoped to create these files when I unchecked the "Save media cache files next to original media files".

But does that mean it's saving those files somewhere else? My understanding is that .cfa and .pek files will continue to be created - just in a central folder as opposed to being located next to the original media.

That's correct. They're created elsewhere.

I have the same problem. May be is temporary files. but it is doing a mess in the explorer.

I'm experiencing the same issue, and have no idea what these duplicate files are. To clarify, it's generating new files on the hard drive, they have the same file name with a _1 appended, and they are very small files (10-15KB). My files reside on a server that I access via 10gbe. I have write XMP data turned off, wondering if that has anything to do with it.

This is lame. Why keep them with original extension name? It just confuses us. It was easy before to exclude .pek and .cfa files from transfers, but now it's much more difficult to know which are real files and which are cache. This is bonkers.
