Custom Plugins: TS Adding new entry every time I change the path of my workspace

[Jed_Davidow]

I have worked to create a "portable" TS coding environment... that is, I can have multiple copies/versions of my codebase on disk in a folder anywhere:  Ex  c:\Test, c:\Test_newFeature, c:\subfolder\productionTest, etc.

I launch TS with an environment file that points to the relative paths within that folder, and I am using a TS workspace for coding.

I added a custom plugin to replace the std TS report generator.  This is working.

However, whenever I launch code from a new folder and run, TS appears to re-add the custom plugin from the new location, even though the old relative location works fine.  This is a problem.

Is there a setting that prevents TS from adding new custom plugins?

Are you saying, that when starting in a  different environment, PlugIns from other environments get copied over? 🤔

Apparently?  I'm not sure what's happening.

My environment is within the project.  I had two copies of the project on disk.  I was moving back and forth; I MAY have had a second SeqEdit window opened at the same time, pointing to the other environment, but not sure.

A some point later on, when I only had one environment open, there was a duplicate entry for one of my custom plug ins.

I can try playing with it to see when it creates the duplicate.  But the point is that the plugin has a path within my project, so it's relative to the TS environment setup.

Confirmed:  If I change the location of the project folder (containing a TS workspace, sequences, sub folder with the env, etc), it adds a new entry in the results processing, but not every time.

We use git to manage our code, so basically when I clone to a new location with a new path, I am seeing a new entry.  However, doesn't seem to happen every time.  I am confused by that.
