Thank you Larry for these details... and sorry for misspelling your name - I've edited my post to correct that wink

I have some knowledge of SQL but still cannot understand this strange behavior. I was just expecting that 'include similar' would offer me some useful alternatives but not to present me this huge amount of styles.

I will try again your suggestion to have all styles actually listed in the picker. But the first time I followed the steps you mentioned I just ended up with an empty style picker with no styles in it... even after the 'slow' rebuild which took about 10 minutes to complete.

If LS3 files are no more in use, that would explain a lot... I'm still interested to know if I can expect my old user categories to appear in the new style picker.
Anyone?

Thanks again Larry!
