Import Pictures and Videos keeps importing existing photos
I use the Import Pictures and Videos function to load copies of my photos from my Panasonic camera to my desktop pc. I do this about once a month. Today it started to copy all the old photos that have been already transfered. They are being put in the same folders as the original, a suffix (2) is added to the file name. I have reviewed the settings in Import Pictures and Videos and can't see any problem. The folders are named with the date they were taken, and I don't use any tags, so they look like this:
D:\Photos\Panasonic\2016-07-31\P1000049.JPG
D:\Photos\Panasonic\2016-07-31\P1000049 (2).JPG
I noticed that just one of the duplicates had a date/time that was exactly 1 hour different. This led me to suspect that the change from BST to GMT that we have in the UK may be to blame (although as I said it was only one affected). I realised I had not altered the time on the camera. So I did this and repeated the transfer. It made no difference.
If anyone has come across this and has a solution I would be grateful to hear it
