IK Manager Re-Installing Already-Downloaded files

Postby steven77g » Fri Sep 27, 2024 10:45 pm

I downloaded roughly 40% of SampleTank 4 Max earlier today in before pausing/stopping.

I resumed downloading the remainder later today, only for strange behavior to occur: it started extracting and re-installing all the existing downloads before attempting to download missing files. Right as I hit the button "Update" next to SampleTank 4 Max (which I assume means resume), IK Product Manager only seems to know how to start from the beginning, and not actually resume what it was up to.

So that ended up unzipping and installing everything I had already downloaded to that point, which resulted in a 150GB+ write to my SSD. Then it finally resume where I was up to. I downloaded another 30% before stopping just now to go to sleep. I decided to test one more time just to see if it was a random bug, but no, once again it has started unzipping everything from the start.

Is there a way to prevent this behavior? I just want IK Product Manager to download the packages that don't exist and don't want to keep wearing out my SSD's write endurance unecessarily. I have already submitted a ticket through support.

Example of what it looks like in the log:

I am now pretty sure this has something to do with the files in Appdata/IK Product Manager/Local Storage becoming corrupted, specifically the .db files

I guess I just have to install them manually.
