I brought 4 cameras on a short car trip to Colorado, just 2 riders in an SUV, so plenty of space. Unbeknownst to me, the least used on the trip, the D7200 with 200-500 5.6 mounted, and the D3 hit the same range of exposure numbers on the trip. I took a total of 5 shots with the long lens, 3 pretty decent ones of a Fox that inhabits my Son's neighborhood. When I try to upload the Fox to UHH, I get same numbered D3 photos of a fancy restaurant. Outside of UHH there is no problem using or sending the photos from Windows Live Photo Gallery. I might try renaming the Fox photos. No big deal, but any ideas?

My guess is that for some reason the browser is pulling up something from its cache or stored history, rather than the images you are currently trying to upload.

Not sure what you mean... Example?
Are you selecting the wrong files? UHH only uploads what you select.
Are the two cameras image number counts about the same number?
If so, will the cameras allow you to modify the file prefix the cameras uses for the files? Like "D7-" or "D3-"?

I haven't noticed (paid attention), but does UHH (maybe the browser?) "remember" the last directory used for an upload?

When I select the photo number in the UHH Choose photo function all I can get to upload are the Restaurant photos with the same numbers as the fox photos. Both are visible and accessible / usable in Windows Live. I believe UHH does recall the particular directory, it did when I uploaded two other sets from my recent trip. Though I haven't done it, I can almost certainly modify the file designation in camera.

Curious - What browser are you using? Doesn't it show an ability to change the image source directory?

I find that some few times when the the browser (I use Chrome as the default) returns to a page or site it has recently visited, it will try and, so to speak, repeat what I did on that page or site before. If I go to the same page or site using Firefox I don't experience this problem, so I attribute the issue to the browser.

I'd try the upload with a different browser and see what happens.

Brave browser with Duck Duck Go search engine.

Interesting.
I use Firefox exclusively so I've not experienced that.

? I never heard of Brave. But then I only have Firefox, Chrome, and Edge loaded on my systems.
Mainly to check my website modifications in the latter two.

Even W3Schools browser statistics page only tracks Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. They compromise 98.5% of browser usage. Brave seems to be in the other 1.5%.

Neither had I, but it's a rival to Chrome:

Not real popular yet as it's lumped in a 1.5% usage group (W3Schools) with all the other uncommon browsers.

I can see why some would steer clear of Chrome. I sometimes think it can read my mind with some of the ads that pop up.

In Re: Choice of Browser & Search Engine - improved privacy. The problem tho vexatious, solved. All I had to do was go into the file manager change the name on the Fox files by adding an "a". Thanks for the suggestions!
