    I have found when I press shift to highlight a number of graphics, before I press 'copy" a copy is made called copy 2. If i try again, a new set of copy 3 is made. The files are copied automatically without my intervention.
    I notice when I do a copy and paste, the last pasted file is never removed. Can this be a factor in what is occuring?
    Thank you

    I've been here before. It's a user error type thing:eek:

    If while holding the shift key you barely move the mouse pointer down you'll "drag all the files" and accidently make a copy of them.

    Need to delete the (1) & (2) files...
