I am using Version 13.2 (Build 20161101) on Linux Mint 17.3. Evaluation license.
I have strange problem in that VP is continuously saving the model file (the .vpp file). It is saved at least every 10 seconds, even though I haven’t touched VP for almost an hour. This puts a load on my automatic backup software and my dev machine.
Any idea how to stop this. I have searched google and tried to find some option to disable it, but no luck. I intend to by a licence of VP, but this inconvenience must be resolved first.
Ok, now I understand what you’re getting at. This is not something us users can control right now, the backup files are automatically generated and I can’t find any references in the option screens.
Keep in mind though that these files do have an important purpose: they help protect the integrity of your main project file, and allow you to recover from any accidental or unwanted changes.
Just in case anybody does read this, I have the same issue. Look, I’m using MacOS. I have time machine running backups. I am doing my work on a drive that automatically versions files when they are saved. That’s not really new, I had that back in the 1970’s. Some of us really have no need for VP to be cluttering up our disk with other copies of the project. It would be really, really nice if we could disable this feature. And, it’s kind of annoying when developers only consider their own experience, they really need to explore other scenarios their customers may use. Asking for feedback is always good
