Hi Paul,

I'm having this problem again, after first having installed a large number of plugins without problems. Then installed 18 more (for investigation purposes) and it happened.

I don't think I have installed any of them twice, but if I have: how do I see that? There is no plugin name that occurs twice in these folders (and the Local folders don't contain anything at all). 

I will try deleting all the 18 ones and then re-installing them a couple at a time. Do you have any other suggestion?

The solution is almost certainly the same... we have updated many apps and changed the manifest to the point you need to remove the old apps before installing the new ones.  When we did this we also added a note into the appstore advising users to remove the old one first... but if there has been updates since then and you missed it you may well have installed without removing the old one first.

My method seems to work. Uninstalling the plugins is very simple (just delete them from the Plugins/Packages folder) and then I reinstalled them as I said. I have been very careful not to install any plugin (at all) that was already installed and which had the warning included in its presenation; also every time I got the message that a plugin was already installed I cancelled the new installation. (Is that message always given when a plugin is already installed?)

Through this method I discovered that one plugin which cause this particular problem (at least on my computer) is BaccS_Connector. I shall try again some time; I suspect things like this may be off-and-on. 

If I find out anything else I'll report it.

Why do you have this installed?  What do you use it for?

It's part of my exploration of the plugins -- mainly I wanted to see what the download file is called and how the application is listen in the plugins lists. I might also want to describe it briefly in connection with the description of the BaccS feature.

Still, regardless of my use of it (or not), I don't see why it should cause this problem.

Depends what else you have installed...

I can now report that the latest version of SDLXLIFFAnonymizer (published yesterday) gave rise to this problem. When I uninstalled it, the problem vanished.

I doubt the problem was caused by this plugin Mats.  More likely to be something else in your settings files that was triggerred by the installation of this plugin.  Otherwise it would surely be consistent for all users using it... and I don't believe this is the case.
