DIM bundle confusion

Just bought a couple of bundles, but for one of them both the individual items and the bundle (which apparently installs all the individual items) shows on the Download tab.  I imagine that that may cause some technical conflict if you e.g. choose to install the bundle, and then later see the individual items you didn't install on the Downloads tab and install them as well, because you forgot that you already installed the bundle? Or vice versa.

    I always thought that happened when a bundle contained items beyond the individual products listed. (So not a common occurrence but I seem to recall a couple bundles where there was some bonus for buying the bundle over separate items)

    Curious. Does the package size of "Nature Plants Bundle 02" equal the added package sizes of 04, 05, and 06 put together?

    Yes, that was the first thing I checked.  And a quick look at the file list also reveals that the bundle contains files for all three products.

    To be certain, I've extracted the single files and the bundle to each their folder and compared the folders, the only difference is a few files in the Support folder:

    Of course, you can hide the set you don't install in DIM, but I don't really see the point in two different install sets, it's just confusing people IMO.

    Was it an RDNA set?  I've seen that sort of issue with them, as a bundle there was a separate product rather than a collection of the individual products.  Some of them didn't get repacked properly when they came over here.

    No, it's this one:

    Nature Plants Bundle 02  -  https://www.daz3d.com/catalog/product/view/id/067145

    I also bought Bundle 01 but that doesn't have a bundle installer in DIM, only the individual product installers.
