Hey FYI,

Seems to fail on both my Mac and on my PC. Is their a prerequisite for this feature to work some form of agreed folder structure or is it perhaps just a bug.

I notice the editor opening files but in the end, the popup modal in the bottom right-hand corner hangs about and I have to restart VS Code. After restarting on the mac sometimes the only tags in my settings are from the current open post.

On the pc, it failed completely and after I relaunched it, I was told my editor is now corrupt and I should reinstall.

Also once I manually add tags to "frontMatter.taxonomy.tags": [] it works but it needed a restart.

I am currently writing a blog post about my markdown editing experience and I will feature your plugin, I really like it :-)

@Fasani not sure why this happens. Would you be able to debug the plugin?

Just tested in on two environments and cannot reproduce it. What is the estimated number of articles, tags, categories?

I'm running it against 365 articles, 261 tags, and 48 categories.

6 articles, I think I noticed it pushes into workspace settings but I only maintain user setting, perhaps this?

FYI, I have not been able to identify the issue with this. I will just maintain the list by myself.
