This is a bit confused, Herman.
First, can you say what QArepo (after my QA time) does; is there any info about it, like a Wiki?
> When I add the folder where QArepo stores the packages as a local repository,
> I give it a name which is different than the foldername
> I get the repos twice in MCC: one time with the name I gave it,
> and one with the foldername
which reduces to "I add the folder ... I give it a name which is different than the foldername" and "one time with the name I gave it, and one with the foldername." Sorry, lost!
If you could please clarify this - particularly what you mean by "a/the name" and "foldername".
And perhaps add a screenshot illustrating "I get the repos twice in MCC".CC:

lewyssmith QARepo: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/QA_Repo. As you see, qarepo makes a folder "qa-testing" in the users home. In this folder it makes a local repo just for the test packages you select in it. Then define this local repo in MCC - Software - Media - Add a custom media. In the dialogue you have to give the repo a name and refer to its actual location. I give the name "qarepo" and refer to <userhome>qa-testing folder. OK so far, and I can select the update packages in MCC. But when I reboot the next day for a new testing session, I get the local media with the name "qarepo" as I defined, but I get !!! additionally !!! a local media with the name "QA-Testing" and refering to the same <userhome>qa-testing folder, i.e. it took the folder name as the media name. I can work with the qarepo tool, refresh the"qarepo" media when I change its contents etc... Biut I cann't remove the "QA-Testing" named media without blowing the setup apart. Thank you for all the explanation, it certainly helps to understand the problem.
QA Repo is a significant tool; thanks for the Wiki ref.

Can you supply a screenshot illustrating this?
Assigning this to the tools maintainers for MCC; CC'ing Martin for QArepo.CC:

mageia Herman, you don't need to add the local repo to the urpmi media yourself - QARepo does that for you. See the sections https://wiki.mageia.org/en/QA_Repo#Synchronising_and_enabling_the_local_repository and https://wiki.mageia.org/en/QA_Repo#Disabling_the_local_repository I think this explains the double entries - one created by you, one automatically created. This was meant to save you time :-) Usually, I run qarepo on my desktop, and have that one shared out (nfs) to my laptop(s). So I had to define the local repo manually. But my desktop is out of order now (power supply gone south) and this is the first time I run qarepo locally on my test laptop. That explains why I never paid attention to those paragraphs in the wiki. Status:
