Extension already installed, but KNIME prompts to install it again, but it's not possible to inst...

Hi all,

I’m running into a strange problem with the Geospatial Analytics Extension for KNIME on macOS using KNIME 5.4.4 (Apple Silicon) .

**

Problem:

Although the extension is shown as installed in the “Installed Extensions” list, KNIME keeps prompting me to install it when I try to use a related node (e.g. Map View, Coordinate Formatter).

Even after reinstalling it successfully via the KNIME Hub or Install Extensions, I still get the same prompt.

It seems KNIME does not register the extension properly, even though the installation finishes without any errors.

**

What I’ve already tested:

• The extension is listed as installed in Help → About KNIME → Installation Details

• After a clean restart, the same nodes still trigger the “install this extension?” dialog

• I have tested other extensions, which install and work without issues

• I verified that all update sites are active

• I cleared workbench.xmi and restarted

• I checked the /plugins/ folder and confirmed the .jar files for the geospatial extension are present

• The KNIME log shows no errors related to the nodes or loading the extension

:bulb: System setup:

• macOS (M3, Apple Silicon)

• KNIME 5.4.4

• Workspace: new and clean

Does anyone know how to force KNIME to re-index or rebind already installed extensions properly? Or is this a known issue with plugin registration on macOS?

Thanks in advance!
