Persistent warning message cannot be dismissed:"Your Positron installation appears to be corrupt. Please reinstall." #5329

Open DmdCalvinChen opened 5 days ago

DmdCalvinChen commented 5 days ago

Description: I've encountered an issue with the Positron application where a warning message is persistently displayed in the bottom right corner of the GUI. This warning message appears to be related to modifications I've made to the background of the application. While the intention behind the warning message is good, as it is intended to notify users of potential issues, the fact that it cannot be dismissed is quite frustrating. Having this warning message appear every time I open the application is detrimental to the overall user experience.

Expected Behavior: The warning message should only be displayed once, and not appear on subsequent application launches. Ideally, there should be an option for the user to dismiss the warning permanently, or a setting to disable the warning entirely.

I would greatly appreciate if the development team could look into this issue and provide a solution that allows users to either disable the warning message or dismiss it permanently after the initial notification. This would significantly improve the user experience.

Can you say more about what kind of change you made that triggered this warning?

Thank you for your reply. I encountered this error after using the 'background-cover' plugin to change the 'positron' background. The plugin also gives a warning when used with VSCode, which can be closed, but the 'positron' cannot close this pop-up. The location of the plugin should be changed to: 'c:\Users\CS\software\Positron\resources\app\out\vs\workbench\workbench.desktop.main.css'. Because when you first change the background, you need to grant write permissions to this folder, otherwise you cannot change the background. “ / Unexpected update of background image, please make sure to run as administrator or grant write permission to the file!
