Virtual copy not able to find match

Hello!

I have a problem with the TTG - response that I get in the clients email to me.
When then make a selection and the selection contains virtual copies in their selection, Lightroom cant find them since the filename is "wrong".

Example:
The gallery contains 2 images. One is the original file myfile_2001 and one is the virtual copy of that file.
If a client checks BOTH of them the response would be:
myfile_2001,myfile_2001_1

myfile_2001 shows up when filtering on filename. The virtual copy myfile_2001_1 is not found since there is no myfile_2001_1 filename only myfile_2001 and the _1 is added for a virtual copy.
How can this be fixed?

Best regards
Fredrik

Re: Virtual copy not able to find match

Lightroom is stupid and inconsistent in its naming of exported virtual copies, and such file names lack any correlation to what's in your library. The solution is simply not to use them. If you need alternate versions in a gallery, then you should export the files, re-import them to your library as first-class citizens, then export your gallery from those files.

My feature requests to Adobe to provide a better solution for this nonsense have fallen on deaf ears.
