All WorldServer termbases showing up in MultiTerm Desktop

I'm pretty sure this is new behavior in MultiTerm Desktop 2024. We work with WorldServer, and whenever we open a WS project in Trados Studio, the termbase will be added to the Termbase Management section of MultiTerm Desktop:

Screenshot of MultiTerm Desktop 2024 showing a list of termbases automatically added from WorldServer projects, including multiple entries labeled with timestamps.

This becomes very tedious when you work on several projects a day, as if you don't remove them manually you will eventually wind up with dozens or hundreds of termbases in the list. Furthermore, adding these termbases serves no purpose that I can see. If I wanted them there, I could just add them myself. They didn't use to be added automatically. Is it possible to somehow prevent this from happening?

  • Just to provide a bit more context as to why this is so aggravating:

    Screenshot of the 'Select Termbases' window in MultiTerm, showing a list of termbases with checkboxes, descriptions, and locations. Most termbases are named 'WorldServer' with timestamps.

    I stopped using MultiTerm 2024 for this very reason but needed to open a termbase in it while working in another termbase in MultiTerm 2019 (my go to). When doing so, all of those "WorldServer" termbases had to be deselected (they were all enabled by default -- of course). And now I would have to right-click and manually remove each one, only for the list to only continue populating because regardless of whether I actually use MT 2024, every WorldServer project I work on will have its termbase unnecessarily added here.
