Last update i have had to uninstall and install because i got double folders in the library ?
This is an install over a version from last week, Sorry i don't remember which (So many of em of late WOOHOO 🙂 )
Double folders ?
From the original SynthMaker forum (2004–2014), with its members’ names and dates.

Yeah i got this also and in some of the older versions too, its simple to correct though and all the modules are in the programs folders somewhere even the deleted ones so if you make a mistake you can get the files back 🙂

i got this too - the reason for it on my system is due to the folder naming convention including a number - ie (1) Module ; (2) Maths ; (3) Data ;
if you add a new user folder near the top of the tree all the numbers are updated
ie
(1) Module (2) USER FOLDER (3) Maths (4) Data
and then when you download a new version it of course has the old folder names (1) Module (2) USER FOLDER (2) Maths (3) Maths (3) Data (4) Data etc
easy work around is always add user directories at the end after any that are included in the distribution

Just as an addendum to this, I also got at least 3 crashes while deleting the excess folders from within SM.
>>edit - with _t

Hi RobR, welcome to the forum 🙂 a new version of SM has just been released that should fix this bug -

Just to elaborate on this, as Tom says we've alleviated the problem by adjusting the install program in the latest release. It's not a perfect solution but it will be fine for now. It will certainly stop the double folders from being created.
RobR, when the problem occurs it's best to correct it via the Windows file system. Go to your SynthMaker install folder and you'll see a sub-folder called modules. Go inside here and you'll see that there are two folders: sound and elements. Inside these are folders for each filter group. You need to delete any duplicates and ensure that the numbering (in the brackets at the start of the name of each folder) is continuous and complete.
Let me know if you need any more help with this.

Thanks Tom and Malc.
Malc, it wasn't a major problem, but I was just curious that using the - option to remove the extra folders crashed SM fairly dramatically (or is that a known problem?).
Cheers,
Rob.

Did it only crash when you deleted the duplicate filter groups? If so, I'm pretty sure it's related to that issue. All should work fine under normal circumstances - let me know if this is not the case.

Yes.
