[RWP] I found the culprit

Thank you. I have indeed done all of this. Right now, everything is playing nicely. I'm just going to stay away from that autodetect button. I wasn't having any problems until I accidentally tap that button instead of the add button which is one tab away from it.

The only time I can see them, is if I delete the ones that I've scanned out of the edit field. But then it won't be able to scan the plug-in or will it?
