LTeX redownloads when opened in a devcontainer #667

Discussed in https://github.com/valentjn/vscode-ltex/discussions/662

Originally posted by **Tuetenk0pp** July 15, 2022 I noticed that LTeX redownloads about 280M of language data every time I load it inside a VS Code devcontainer. Is there an explanation for that? It would be nice if it wouldn't. Other extentions (e.g. LaTeX Workshop) only do this once so I assume there is a way around this. This is my devconainer file if anybody is curious: ```json { "name": "TexLive", "image": "texlive/texlive", "extensions": [ "James-Yu.latex-workshop", "valentjn.vscode-ltex" ] } ``` As for why I use a devcontainer at all: It makes collaboration really easy since everybody uses the same LaTeX distro and package versions, no matter what operating system they're on.

For me it also redownloads when opening any repository inside a github codespace. I could imagine that the download is needed when opening a LaTeX project in a devcontainer/codespace. But at least for other projects that should not be the case.
