Why does LTeX check all documents in the workspace, even not opened ones?

On my system (macOS 10.14.6, VSCode 1.52.0, LTeX v8.1.1) all files in the workspace (also files not opened or edited in VSCode) are checked when LTeX is enabled. Is this how it is supposed to work?

The problem is that I have some relatively large multi-root workspaces that contain hundreds of Markdown and LaTeX files, and the CPU load becomes high for an extended period of time until all documents have been checked. Besides, many of the documents are finalized and spell / grammar checking is not needed anymore.

I don't see a setting that can affect this behavior, is there a solution already or can it be fixed in future updates? A setting to choose whether all documents in workspace, only the currently edited document, or all documents currently opened in VSCode, should be checked could be useful.

This is not expected behavior. LT_EX is supposed to check only opened files, except when running the LTeX: Check all documents in workspace command. So this is a bug either in VS Code or in LT_EX. Please open a bug report with all the relevant info.

Thank you for confirming unexpected behavior. I have now opened a bug report #197
