Hi all,

I use Node Red Desktop by @sakazuki, run with NR 1.0.2 and some stuf in a Win10 PC (1903 with last update) :  
 ![version%20seul](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/c/c520e8e80813151cbb7e08bc5c59c8b217ab546f.png)

**Example :** i re-instal Node Red Desktop on a new Win10 partition and import a flow with missing nodes. **If I install a Local node from a Git cloned, and then install a Palette node later, the Local node is deleted!  
I need to re-install the Local node.**

Explanation:

**1- import a flow with missing nodes:**

2- install local node missing : **node is on top left corner !?**

**3- RELAUCH NRD and looks like good**

4- install the palette node missing : **the node is in the upper left corner AND the screen is grey again !?**

**5- RELAUCH NRD and the last Local node is deleted !?**

 ![palette%20ok%20-%20local%20deleted](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/2X/c/c72f5be2533276cef331bc0279b1c1c067fa5589.png)

**I can not add a node from the Palette anymore, otherwise all the nodes registered since a Git, cloned in Local, will be erased!**  
@knolleary , @dceejay or someone else help with this : updated node displayed on the left corner and the Local node erased after Palette node installation.

Thanks

Chris
