Opening an excalidraw diagram changes something inside and shows in git pending changes #94

Open bjesuiter opened 1 year ago

bjesuiter commented 1 year ago

When I open an excalidraw diagram with the extension, It seems to change something inside the file, since VSCode shows me the 'unsaved changes' indicator and git shows me the file as changed.

This is incredibly annoying, since I don't know anymore whether I did something to a file or if I simply took a look at it.

Can you at least provide a setting which says: "Avoid all write processes until something really changed in the file" ?

Happens to me also, seems to be updating version and versionNonce fields for each file open

Can someone, who's in charge, comment on whether this could be changed? I can see that we only want to change the version and versionNonce Fields after an actual edit. Or at least, make it configureable in vscode to stop this behavior.

This is not a simple fix. The extension export your drawing to a JSON file each time a change is reported, and sometimes a change is reported while the drawing did not changes.

The extension does not have control over the version fields. If it was that easy, it would already be fixed.

@pomdtr Ah ok, I see. Is there an upstream repo somewhere where we might be able to get this fixed directly in excalidraw core?

Facing the same issue 😞 Is there a hack / fix anyone has found ?
