I have two Windows 11 PC, one desk the 2nd laptop setup the same for photo editing.
I use DCPs, Huelight profiles and found a problem. On the desktop they were originally installed in my user folder but with the new laptop the user folder name was different so I created a Huelight folder in C.
I used the laptop for processing for the first time last week and on the desk top the image’s getting an error saying the DCP was invalid. I found if I re installed the DCP it sorted it, which made no sense as it was the same DCP!
Now the problem is, I have part worked out, that on the desktop the DCP’s are shown as A6700 CF Natural V1.1 and A6700 CF Natural V1.dcpdcp and since trying to resolve the problem now A6700 CF Natural V1.3dcp and its now the same on the laptop. But as below the problem goes further than just this.
I can find no way of cleaning up the DCP listing to restart it linking to the DCPs. Clicking the alongside an entry doesn’t remove it from other image’s list of DOPs What I need to do is clean up the DOP lists to create new entry’s for DCPs on both Desk and laptop but how?
1/ the presents are the same, exported and imported from desk to laptop.
2/ the location of Huelight profiles are the same c: Huelight profiles\Sony 6700 (the folder was copied from desk to laptop).
3/ I have been through every image folder changing the Natural to one without 1, 2 or 3 fallowing its name.
4/ Folders copied are still having problems, often a second Neutral (unnumbered) is there and if selected the folder is OK. But copy it back to the other computer and there are the same problems and a Neutral has to be selected again.
5/ I have deleted the DxO PL 7 Database a number of times on both desk and laptop as clearly they may have been causing problems!

Can’t you highlight the dcp-profile and delete it?
To your problem of having pics and dcp-profiles on 2 machines … I don’t use 2 machines and cannot try this, but if I’m not mistaken, for pictures and dcp-profiles they have to reside in exactly the same structure (name) on both machines cause of non-relative paths.
There is a delete symbol by the DCP that does look to have cleared the extra numbered ones. I have removed the excess unnumbered ones (but on other images they come back?). I will have a go at deleting all of them,its the oddity of keep getting extra unnumbered ones and images having the errer and being OK when an extra unnumbered Normal is used that throws me.
But extra unnumbered keep appearing
Yes both setups are identical.
I think I have found what the problem is. There is no way of seeing where the DCP link shown is to. Having a new W11 install and it creating a user folder having a different name to the desk PC meant I created a folder for the Huelight profiles in C on both PC’s. I added the new links to PL but didn’t realize PL was not replacing the existing ones. So I had recreated my presents and without knowing they were the old links I was using. On the laptop it didn’t have that problem so presents using the C: Huelight profiles folder not the user folder one. Now I have worked it out both have presents using the new folder but I have no idea what happens to the older image’s . The dop in my case has the path to “ColorRenderingDCPProfile = [[C:\Huelight profiles\Sony 6700\A6700 CF Natural V1.1.dcp]]” this was actually looking for C:\Users\john\Huelight profiles” not “C:\ Huelight profiles” so what is going on I don’t understand PL must be doing the redirecting from DCPs it has in its current list not just using the address in the dop’s. So now hopefully dop’s will now work on both PC’s but what will happen to older could be interesting on the laptop.
Basically its back to the old problem if a part finished selling features.
1/ I was under the impression that DXO had sorted the issue of image’s needing a DCP to open had been resolved in that they opened using a DXO default. Clearly haven’t. In deed its even worse they have to be added to PL using the right path to work.
2/ Though number of us did raise the problem of not having a fixed location (or one the PL copied DCPs to) has clearly never been acted on. This would have prevented my problems with a new Windows 11 laptop.
