Description

Dear Cyrille,

I noticed that sometimes Phy rolls back to its default view and content of ~/.phy folder resets (all plugins removed, file phy_config.py is replaced with original one). What could be the cause of it?

System
Debian 10.6
Spyking Circus 1.0.6
Phy 2.0b2.dev

Sincerely,
Stan

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reset with the reported Debian 10.6, Spyking Circus 1.0.6, and Phy 2.0b2.dev versions while inspecting ~/.phy. Determine what causes the plugins to disappear and phy_config.py to be replaced; done means the cause is identified and the default view and configuration no longer overwrite user content.
