Printer cannot be selected in Orcaslicer after adding profiles from Sovol GitHub

Slicer Issues
1

I did a fresh install of OrcaSlicer 2.3.0. Then I copied the profiles from the Sovol Github repository into the profiles directory of the OrcaSlicer installation. When starting OrcaSlicer, I can select the Sovol Zero (and other Sovol printers) as system printer, so it looks like everything worked at first sight.
However, when preparing a project, the selected Sovol printers do not show up in the printer dropdown. If I configure other printers, they do, but none of the Sovol ones works.

I got it working after

  1. Deleting all references to printers other than the ones I own (Sovol S08 and Zero) from the Sovol.json
  2. Removing the following entry
{
            "name": "0.20mm Standard @SOVOL ZERO 0.4 nozzle",
            "sub_path": "process/0.20mm Standard @SOVOL ZERO 0.4 nozzle.json"
        },

This file is not in the Sovol-OrcaSlicer/Sovol project.

Any update on this? The GitHub project has obvious errors (like missing files), and there has been no change for two months? Does Sovol have any kind of quality assurance or do they just guess whether their code works?

Sovol is closed for a few days.
They’ll be sure to get back to you when they’re back.
