I have had an ongoing problem with duplicates for some (long) time. I
duplicate many of my images; different colorations, monochrome and of
course using the more recent filmic processing. Often I may have 3, 4 or
more versions from the RAW and I rarely bother to remove any of the
prior versions.
Later when I go to look for a specific image I often find that only the
'primary' production is visible and the placeholders for the secondary
copies are now occupied by images from an entirely different time and
place, with each of the place holding images simply showing the EXIF
data associated with the primary image.
This does *not* appear to be critical in terms of loosing my work. When
the incorrect placeholder is opened the correct version appears and then
later is shown correctly in the lighttable. It is however a significant
nuisance. In a search for some images today I needed to open and close
more than 30 images so that the correct versions would show in one
single folder.
This is not a new occurrence, it is something that I have noticed for
some time and have posted previously with one person verifying the same
situation.
I have tried totally flushing dt and making a fresh import/install.
There are probably less crazy people making duplicates so fewer will see
this behavior. It would be nice if it could be solved/fixed.
