[SOLVED] 50g library appearing twice in LIB menu

No, I get exactly what I expect. The library appears only once.

No, I checked 0: 1: and 2: and the library only appears in port 0.

Thanks, I have more than one 50g but I was hoping it won't come to that! The rest are all in their packaging.

This seems to be it. I have no idea why. I made a point of doing the warmstart from HOME several times to check this (the libraries should all attach to HOME) but detaching from the SETTINGS directory does work. Now I am wondering if SETTINGS is a reserved name.

I just did the following:

Using the filer, I purged all libraries from port 0
Warmstart
All libraries cleared
I restored a backup from SD card
I checked the LIB menu, no libraries
I copied the libraries from SD card to port 0
Warmstart
LIB menu shows the libraries
Change to SETTINGS
LIB menu shows one library duplicated

I'm back to the original question. Why is the library attaching twice? (and should this even be possible?)

I did not want to attach the lib only to SETTINGS, because although several commands do need vars from SETTINGS, most don't.

I'm going to rename SETTINGS and try this again. And I will eventually change the global vars to port variables, because I never had the intention to have to change to SETTINGS to use the commands.

Thanks David, Jacob, Joe.
