Unknown meta data added to custom folder after reinstallation

Rhino Plugin
1

Hi, I noticed something odd with my custom folder after installing the latest version of Pollination. To be clear I saved all my custom data to : C:\Users.…\AppData\Roaming\ladybug_tools\standards

Before installing the latest version the custom folder had only the data that I had created like :

1
1762×348 19 KB

2
2765×371 21.2 KB

3
4
4860×370 19.8 KB

But after installtion of Rhino plugin , new data are being added to the custom folder automatically and it shows up under user category inside the rhino pollination interface as below :

5
5766×369 30.8 KB

6
6762×372 27 KB

7
8
81181×364 27.8 KB

As far as I know custom folder only gets what we add manually and after reinstallation of plugin its should not be altered.
So is it a bug?
Any insight on this would be helpful!

Hi @asisnath,

This is correct. I don’t think we have changed anything in the installer. When you go to the folder, do you see any new additional files? Has the last-modified date for your files changed?

Also, what is the version that you have installed?

Yes @mostapha Some files are being added as below but not to all folders. Last modified files are not changed I guess!

Thank you for the additional information. @mingbo should be able to tell what might be happening.

Hi @mingbo. Any update to this?

Hi @asisnath, those are constructions and program types for standards “09J908”, “TG013-2012” and “GB55015”, which are used in China. I think I will remove them in the later versions when I get chance.

You can safely delete them if you have to.

Hi @mingbo , were you able to rectify this as its quite annoying every time to delete the additional files from custom folder after new version installations ?
