Running FreeCAD in portable environment (from USB drive).
Every time I install the Sheetmetal workbench, it remains for the session.
But after ejecting the USB drive, and then starting another FreeCAD session a day or more later, the Sheetmetal workbench is missing, and I have to re-install it again, ie, the installation is not permanent.

Maybe you need a special feature, go into Macros_recipes and Code_snippets, Topological_data_scripting.

Hi - thanks for responding !!!
I was running 0.19.1, now have upgraded to 0.19.2, and problem seems to be fixed.
I can dismount USB drive, then re-mount and start FreeCAD, and sheetmetal workbench remains in my installation.
Haven't tried macros yet.

Well, I spoke too soon.
Yesterday the Sheetmetal workbench did remain installed over a dismount-remount of the USB drive I'm running the portable version from,
however, today it is gone and requires re-installation.
Apparently, it got lost in a computer reboot, even though this is the portable version of FreeCAD.

Re: Addon Workbenches
What OS are you running? paste your freecad info please. When you go into the directory were addons are installed is the addon folder removed? It sound like something else is messing with your files and deleting them or something like that
