settings.json keeps getting added/updated for every directory I open

See original GitHub issue

Despite having the following JSON in my user settings, it keeps getting added to .vscode/settings.json whether it was already there or not, causing extraneous, unwanted changes in my git repos:

{
    "markdownlint.config": {
        "MD028": false,
        "MD025": {
            "front_matter_title": ""
        }
    }
}

Extension version: v0.44.4

@heaths , yes the extensions are still in active development internally instead of publicly now. We used to rely on GitHub for user feedback so we’re attempting to develop a new strategy to allow to report bugs, provide suggestions, etc.

It’s great to hear that the extension pack is helpful and we’ll get the settings file issue addressed ASAP.

Thanks!

@jamarw would you be able to look into this? I believe the change you made to Docs Authoring Pack https://dev.azure.com/ceapex/Engineering/_git/DocsAuthoringPack/pullrequest/318687 is adding .vscode settings everytime you open a .md file.

@bharney0 @heaths @DavidAnson @nschonni , I’ll take a look now. You can also rollback the extension to the previous version while we implement a fix. Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.
