10,543 Duplicates in .libpacks

not seeing where the libraries are duplicated, or duplicated elements listed in the loaded libraries... what gives?

if I was to guess i would say;

it looks like you have added the archicad libraries folder separately from the library packages, because the path to both copies of the duplicate objects are the same.

but that would mean what is above the break line(which i can't see) would include the offending folder/folders.

I can't see a scroll bar(like on windows) to see how many folders are above the Library packs. 

This solution may not work for you but it may help other people.

I don't know if this helps.

the thing thats throwing me for a loop is that the duplicates listed are in the same .libpack, same .jpg and .png files.

I was able to work down the list by stripping out a lot of the 'other language' libraries (this client had loaded all .libpacks without discresion)

That is very strange,

It is clearly showing the exact same file path for the duplicates.

And the file size seems correct, so it is not a doctored libpack.

 

Have you tried deleting that chimney libpack and seeing if it still loads?

If it is completely missing then re-load it and see if it duplicates again.

 

Also check the folder the libpacks are in.

I am wondering if some how there is a duplicate in there - but the file couldn't have the same name.

 

Also make sure the library packs have the latest update applied.
