Hello Manuel,
Thank you for sharing your research on this.
For security reasons, I have modified your link to open on Google, and not on the external site mentioned.
That choice should remain with the possible reader of this comment.
Problems with external links like this Japanese link, is that you never know what will happen to it in the future.
That being said, I did follow your link, and indeed, so far as it is clear there are two files for the following reason : the first contains all the settings of the three custom settings (C1,C2,C3) that are applied at once – in the second you can use the three custom settings, C1, C2 and C3 separately.
A logical explanation, and interesting to know.
Thank you!
Marc

Hola, en este hilo se esplica mas o menos el tema del porqué hay dos archivos: https://e-m-wonderful.com/e-m1mark2-myset-2/

OM System/Olympus has unnecessarily made saving settings too complicated, mistakes are easily made, and I don’t find saving via OM Workspace very user-friendly either.
Could be much easier by being able to save them on the SD card, for example, and in a kind of spreadsheet format that you can edit on a PC or Mac.

Hello Manuel,
I think you missed my previous answer to your question above.
The camera itself created 2 files from one set of settings.
Presumably they contain basic and specific settings, unfortunately there is no information about why the Mark II creates two files, both at Olympus, in the manual and also not on the internet.
Best is to upload one of the two, and check.

Thanks Marc, I actually had most of the info above already written into a note for a future blog post in mind – only last week I accidentally RESET instead of SET my C1 settings while trying to update them, so had to re-do them all and wrote it down. I was trying out the C-AF+TR[MF] focus mode, which seems more obvious for tracking, but for some reason I found C-AF[MF] works better. I did also read many people suggest single spot focus, but I found the OM1 to be “usually” good enough to find birds and follow them using all the focusing points. Being winter in Tasmania, I think the duller light is often not helping with tracking, which is why I have been experimenting.

Dear Tone,
Super great that you want to share this with us, I really appreciate this !
If I were you I would write a “best settings” article around this, and specifically for the OM-1 itself, there are few good photographers who want to do this, if not to say none,
because those that do are usually employed or sponsored by OM System/Olympus.
These kind of real life and tested experiences as you write down here are extremely valuable for many novice and also experienced nature photographers.
Many thanks Tone !

I edit using DxO Photolab 6. I have found that using Deep Prime XD noise reduction, with Luminance set at 60, Lens sharpness Global 1.60, Details and bokeh @ 60 is a pretty good base point for reducing the high ISO noise without losing detail. I also make other adjustments, but DxO Smart Lighting and Clear View Plus can also help refine detail. I then import into Photoshop CS6 (not CC), and apply spot sharpening if needed (eg, eyes).
