Duplicate part bins

[mMerlin]

Current Behaviour

Starting up Fritzing, I noticed that a bunch of the part bins were duplicated in the parts window.

Searching around, I found that the ~/.config/Frtizing/Fritzing.conf file (actually ~/.var/app/org.fritzing.Fritzing/config/Fritzing/Fritzing.conf for me, due to using flatpak version) had many entries for each of 3 different bins. Here is a partial extract.

I do not know how those got there. A bug of some sort, but without any history on my machine to say when or how. Possible triggered by an unrelated system crash while Fritzing was running.

The manual fix is to exit Fritzing, then delete the duplicate references to the 'more' part bin files. They were almost all at the end (higher numbers), so all that was needed was to delete them. Care was needed to only delete the higher numbers. The entries are sorted "alpha" numerically, so entry "3" comes after entry "29". Needed to delete entries 27 through 82, but not entries 3 through 9, which were mixed in. Also needed to delete existing entry 25, and change 26 to 25, to get things back where they belong.

Build:

Version 0.9.4 (CD-498 2019-12-01) 64 [Qt 5.13.2]

Operating System:

Fedora 31 Workstation Editions

Steps to reproduce:

Unknown

Expected Behaviour

Fritzing should check for duplicate "[bins2]" entries, and get rid of them automatically at start-up. Before populating the Parts widget.
