Missing/Doubles question

[Rick Thompson]

I always have two things show up under missing/doubles that I can't figure out. On the attached screen shot there are 2 property objects that are there in the right place... and they do function as they are supposed to. There is only one of each, nothing is duplicated, and nothing missing. So, why do I get this message year after year?

The first listing with the 2 cars showing "F-Design (script) 2" seems to work fine removing one out of one folder. That took care of that one.

thanks

Rick:

It looks like the two property objects have the same GUID (very long identification in the brackets). Open one of the objects and do a Save As... to change its GUID, and remove the old part. I found that if I duplicated objects in the Finder, the GUID would also be duplicated so the parts were showing up as doubles, even though they have different names, I needed to do a Save As... to copy an object and give it a unique GUID.

Thank for that info. I did (once upon a time) duplicate some property objects in finder and then tweak one of them, so that make perfect sense.

Yes, this behaviour is inherent in the programming of the GUID as detailed in the following web page:

Save as... is indeed the simple answer.
