Arduino ide 2 issues

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

Hi all
I have 2 problems with arduino ide 2, which have been evident since installation, which I havnt bothered about before. I have been using it for several months without any problems, except for the following issues.
1 Every time I open up the ide after first turning on my computer, I get a msg. which tells me it is redownloading all my board files, which can take up to several minutes. If I have been using the ide and close it down, when I reload it , it doesnt do it, ( only happens when I first use it from cold boot).
2. In the ide If I open file/sketches, my sketches are listed multiple times, any where from twice to fifteen times. My sketches are located in documents/arduino/sketches. I copied and pasted them there from my earlier version of arduino. The earlier version was deleted. I removed the sketches temporarily and verified this in the ide. I then repasted the sketches back, and still the same problem.
Hope someone can shed some light on the problem.
Regards Lookingforward

Hi @lookingforward.

Which version of Arduino IDE are you using (e.g., "2.0.1")? The version is shown on the window title bar and also in the Help > About dialog.

Please post the full and exact text of the message.

Your topic has been moved to the dedicated IDE 2.0 section of the forum.

I've only seen duplicates, not 15 times. Some more info in e.g. Arduino IDE 2.0.3 Duplicate TAB page. Post #2 describes a workaround and post #20 a workaround for the workaround.

hi arduino ver. 2.0,3.
I think I may have solved the problem, one of the board url,s became redundant. i deleted it and now it no longer downloads board pacages at start up.
thanks for reply.

@lookingforward do you have backup copies of the duplicated sketches stored in subfolders of your sketchbook folder?

I'm glad it is working now. Thanks for taking the time to post an update.

In case it is of interest, here is the bug I suspected was the cause:

That bug was present in Arduino IDE 2.0.3, but fixed in 2.0.4
