    Omnisphere 3 ignores patches that has the same name when searching in "View All Directories", despite being different sounds/instruments, so it only shows 1 patch and forgets the rest.

    To prove that, I will use Powershell and run a command that searches for all the files in a directory that has the same name, it will show how many times those name files are being repeated.
    The results are around 300 patches that uses the same name across different 3rd Party Libraries. I will choose the patch "Underground" for this example. As you can see, that Name File is being used 3 times:

    Let's see which directories they are located:
    upload_2025-11-12_21-57-19.png

    If I try to search for them under "View All Directories" in Omnisphere 3, it will show only 1 of them: upload_2025-11-12_21-39-19.png

    If I make the same search in Omnisphere 2, you will see that Omnisphere 2 was capable of showing all patches that use the same name:
    upload_2025-11-12_21-57-36.png

    And here are the patches manually selected from their respective 3rd party library directories, and as you can see, all of them have different settings and different soundsources, making clear that they are not the same patch, they only use the same name:
    upload_2025-11-12_22-0-2.png

    And yes I already clicked on the "Refresh" button, but still ignores ALL DUPLICATED NAME Patches. This affects the sound exploration and past Rated pacthes
