Or use an importing program like ImageIngester, or rename the files in Bridge, etc.

Since first starting this thread I discovered, somewhere in the settings for Photoshop (?), that there is an option to save cache files in the same folder as the image file.

 

I ticked the box and have not had a single recurrence of the problem.  I also cleared the original cache file which was surprisingly large.

 

So far I haven't  detected any disadvantages - though no doubt there are some.

 

It took a few moments longer to bring up a thumbnail the first time an old image file was reopened but that is trivial price to pay to be rid of the problem.
