    Why does this happen sometimes?

    (Original) INKSCAPE TEMPLATE (5-22-24).svg

    (Dup.) INKSCAPE TEMPLATE (5-22-24).svg.2024_06_17_14_39_02.0.svg

    Should I delete the original file then remove 2024_06_17_14_39_02.0.svg?

    Or should I just delete the duplicate then keep using the original?

    The duplicate with the timestamp can result from Inkscape crashing. It may be corrupted.

    I'd open them both in a text editor and see which file is my preference to keep. If they are identical, I keep the Original.
