Looks like something they were using when they were setting up the Product Library to test out products which were part of bundles that they forgot to deactivate.
OK. Think I'll report it, it's part of the Anime Bundle and might cause problems if you try to download the bundle with DIM.
Strange, mine doesn't do that. I also only have 1 instance of Aiko 3 Morphs and Maps using the filter. Not sure why you're showing 2 of them.
Yes, I'd expect it would be the same on all accounts too. But I've noticed that there have been other problems that seem to hit some accounts and not others, for whatever reason.
The Anime Bundle also has two Aiko Morphs icons, the one links to the test file.
The download file for the bundle is wrong though - XinXin Hair Textures. I've checked, there's nothing in it but these textures.

More oddities - after installing XinXin hair Textures, the background in the Viewport in DS was black, and Animate 2 was loaded, when I opened DS. I've seen the background turn black once before when loading a certain item, but here it was before loading anything. And the Animate 2 thing I've never seen before.
XinXin hair textures are bonus hair textures for XinXin for A3 for buying the Made in Japan bundle (can be bought separately or as part of the Anime Bundle). You wouldn't get the textures if you purchased XinXin separately.
Although, why the hair textures are listed under the Anime Bundle and not the Made in Japan bundle I haven't a clue.
Sounds like something just borked your layout is all. Just reset it or reset a saved one.
I don't have the Made in Japan bundle, but it looks to me as if the two bundles contain the same products, or what?
Anyway, I've filed a bug report, so I hope they fix it soon.
Thanks!
No, they are different I can see from the product pages. But it looks like your Product Library info is wrong - it says the Made in Japan bundle contains the Anime Bundle which is wrong, according to the Product Page in the store which says this:
XinXin for Aiko 3
Sailor Uniform
Captain's Uniform
Bonus 35 Extra Textures For the XinXin Hair Available ONLY in This Bundle.
I think the product pages are backwards, not my library. Made in Japan is what's in my order history and that gave me A3, A3 morphs and maps, and everything you listed above.
Also, I have the grey Purchased button on Made in Japan, but not on the Anime Bundle.
Well it's confusing. In any case, they seem to have fixed my account now and removed the test file.
As for The Xin Xin Hair textures, I think the file is listed there because it's not a real item but just a bonus so it doesn't have its own page in the library like the other items in the bundle have. I would have expected one file with all the included items in it on the Anime Bundle page (that's the goal for all the bundle pages AFAIK) but they're not finished with converting all the bundles to DIM yet so that's probably why you have to download the included items (except the bonus) separately from their own pages.
As for the greyed out button it has never worked for bundles inside bundles (Made in Japan is not greyed out for me while Anime Bundle is while it's opposite for you, which confirms that's still the case). So you can't count on that. I think I recall they've promised to fix this but it's pretty complex so it wasn't going to be "soon".
Bundles should NOT have a single zip file with all the items, it should instead link to the individual items.

OK. I was thinking of the DIM link on the bundle page which (AFAIK) is supposed to install all files in the bundle at once, and thought there was supposed to be a single zip file with them all as well (no problem with that IMO if there still are links to the individual items as well on their respective pages, or on the bundle page).
Some bundles btw, like the Millennium Horse Bundle, actually do have a single zip installer. Michael 4 Pro Bundle also has a file "7880_1_dpc_Michael4ProBundle.zip" but it's only 7 MB and seems to contain only some DIM files or something. So the whole thing seems a bit confusing.
And the understatement of the year award goes to...

The one on the Mil Horse Bundle page is the old Mac installer zip. The only DIM zip on that page is the Foal Bonus, which is not available separately. On the M4 Pro Bundle page, the zip you named is the Mac installer zip for the bonus poses you get with the bundle, which what the single DIM zip on that page is also.
In general, any zip on a product page which doesn't start with IM and have a green DIM button is the Mac installer. Except for old bundles which might not have been updated yet, the only time a DIM zip should appear on a bundle page instead of on the page linked at the bottom for the parts of the bundle is when there is a bonus item which isn't available separately.

Yea, forgot the new zips start with IM (suffering from jetlag at the moment so my brain is a bit fuzzy). I assume that when everything has been converted to zips things will be more logically structured.
