When I am recording something with Alchamist, I have noticed that it seems to record everything twice. Is this normal ?

hmm I don’t know. Does this happen in older PS version too? How old about ScriptListener plugin? Does it record twice.?

I remember I had same experience a few months ago when I kept Ps and Alchemist open for weeks. After Ps restart all was fine. I believe one has `_isCommand: true` and other - `false`

Rebooted Mac and reloaded Photoshop seems to have fixed it. Thank you.
