Same color in different repository of same project #15

Hi Mads,

great work, great extension, but there is one thing with it that puzzles me.

I have two clones of the same remote repository on my computer. One is for my current work, the other for peeking into other branches and/or fixing my PRs.

If I set a color for the solution in my main repo, I can see the color.txt file inside of the .vs folder in the repository. If I then open the second repository, it gets the same color and I can't see why. This repository has no color.txt file in it. Once I set another color in the second repository, They each have separate colors and all works as expected.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Clone a repository
  2. Clone the same repository again to another folder
  3. Open the solution in repository 1 in VS
  4. Set the color for the solution to something
  5. Open the solution in repository 2 in VS
  6. See that it has the same color as set in repository 1 (This is the wrong situation I was mentioning)
  7. Set another color for slution in repository 2
  8. Close and repoen both solutions and check that each have the colors set to them

What I had expected is that in step 6, the solution in repository 2 has no color set.

Kind regards Thomas

Do you have Auto-mode enabled which makes the extension automatically select a color for each solution if none is specified?

Okay, this explains why I couldn't find anything wrong in the code. It's because the bug wasn't in the software but in the stupid user (me) in front of it.
