Thanks Mark and Richard, I think I have found what is happening. I made a copy of my Plugins folder, deleted all the files from the original plugins folder then started moving each of my plugins back into the original Plugins folder one at a time, running LC each time.
As an aside, it would be nice to have a command to refresh the plugins list so no need to keep quitting and restarting LC. As soon as I moved my plugin that opens the library stack into the plugins folder, lo and behold, the library file showed up in the Application browser even though the plugin is configured to open when I select it from the plugins menu. However, it wasn't showing in the message box "Stacks In Use" tab so my plugin is not opening it with its "start using" command. After prowling around, I think I see what's happening. My plugin has an entry in its stackFiles property which refers to the library stack. It shouldn't be there so I got got rid of it, saved the plugin, stopped and started LC and the library stack no longer turns up until I open my Plugin. I'm pretty sure that the IDE plugins mechanism opens every plugin at startup to get hold of the various plugin parameters that are stored in them and it locks messages while it is doing that. However, it seems that locking messages does not prevent it from opening any stack files that are referenced in the stackFiles property of any of the plugins and that's how my library stack was opened. I think I will enter a QCC report about this. The IDE is locking messages to make sure no openxxx/preOpenxxx messages are triggered when it opens the plugin stacks so seems like it should also prevent any stackFiles from being opened. Mostly, I'm just gad to have figured out what was going on!
