Add conveyors to a user library: duplicates of visualization types

[ FlexSim 23.0.3 ]

- In a new model, drag & drop 1 straight conveyor and 1 curved conveyor.

- Right-click on the straight conveyor > Edit > Add to User Library > New User Library. It adds 2 items in the library: the StraightConveyor1 object and the RollerConveyor visualization.

- Right-click on the curved conveyor > Edit > Add to User Library > User Library 1. It adds a new item in the library: the CurvedConveyor1 object.

There is no new RollerConveyor visualization added. It makes sense since both conveyors have the same RollerConveyor visualization.

However if you right-click on RollerConveyor in the library > Explore Tree, you will notice that the RollerConveyor type has been added twice:

I think it would make more sense to have only one visualization type here, since both conveyors added to the library have the same RollerConveyor visualization.

Thanks for your feedback @Long G, that's a very good comment.

@Matthew Gillespie: to reproduce this issue you can also right-click on a conveyor, add it several times to the library to update it, you will notice that it also creates duplicates of the RollerConveyor node:
