Weird naming behaviour for duplicates in DT3pro

Hello,

I have duplicated some files from one database to another.
When I rename the file in one database, the original gets renamed as well, which is problematic because I have organised the originals based on file names.

Then, when I renamed the original document in the main database, the duplicate went “missing” (couldn’t be found) in the other database.

I thought the purpose of duplicates was to make multiple copies that wouldnt affect the original, while replicants were supposed to alter one-alter them all.

Am I missing something or is this odd behaviour?

Cheers,

Is this an indexed file?

Yes it is. And just by reading your reply I think that’s the issue. Correct.

One possibility is to duplicate the file first in the original database and to move the copy to the other database afterwards.
