When you do a directory scan, it's supposed to open a separate suggestions view (with a different tab label and icon). This suggestions view should behave differently: - it's not updated as you edit the files - it's not persistent (so if you exit and come back, it's no longer there) - cursor motion in the editor does not cause tasks on the current line of the cursor to be highlighted as in the active suggestions view. (This is not intentional; just not implemented.) > - reopen the view - the list is the same - with all _scanned_ results I think the scan results must have made it into the suggestion cache. > > I suppose, more expectable way may be something like this: > > - there are two independant suggestions views: the package scanning > result is the first one, I think there should be one view for each scan request.

Yes, I agree, and that's what's -supposed- to happen already, but I guess something is broken :) I'll take a 5-minute look right now, then I'll look into it when I get back home tonight. -- Tor
