My wife is in the process of naming each of hundreds of pictures taken
during her vacation. For some reason that neither of us can understand, she
repeatedly finds huge blocks of pictures titled "copy of..." Each original
has a copy alongside it in the same folder.
Can someone can identify what she is doing (unintentionally) that's causing
this to happen?
Thanks a million.
BTW, some time ago the same thing happened in a folder containing only Word
documents.
 
Some people Use the Control to multiple select individual files and usually
copies occur when the Control key is held down and the file is dragged even
a slight amount. IF you use the shift key to select the files then you will
not have the copy problem but you need to select images in consecutive order
where as using the control key allows you to select multiple files that are
consecutive in order....
