Can't import *some* favorites

hi! I just finally got into creating my favorites in Project A. I created a few categories: plumbing/cabinets/hardware etc and imported each in PRF file. When I went to project B and tried to import the files, some categories imported to dedicated folders... While some did not import - at all. I did all one by one and it did not say any error, after clicking ok... it just went back to favorite folder. I tried to create custom folder in favorites as well as deleting the folder.. but nothing that would successfully upload the remaining files.

 

 I don't understand. Sometimes I just can't explain Archicad... which workaround is it now? )))  Can someone help me with what I am doing wrong, which is that certain PRF files won't upload to favorites? no error, no reaction, no nothing. 

 

Also, I noticed... I made a few favorites based on some previously imported items. Which... DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY ADD into Archicad when adding the favorites. Like I have to do this manually and go to the library and add that one item? 😄 I can't believe it is not automatically that it ads to the library...?
