Avoid backups files

[Castiane]

Hello,

is there any possibility to avoid the backups files to create ? I lost files because of them. I have a LOT of different versions of the same file it’s not useful at all and now I have a new file created .sm2D.YICijQ. And none of them is the one I’ve finished, they’re all empty and I’ve lost hours of work. The file arkanthia2.sm2D just vanished for no reasons and the correct file .sm2D.YICijQ also. Is there any way to go back to the old way with just one file ? And I know I’ve save my work there is no way I didn’t. How can I go the the old way ?

Thank you

You shouldn’t lose files because of the backups. The backups are saved in your backup folder. The pattern files are saved in what ever folder you saved them in. Don’t set your back folder to your pattern folder, and Don’t save / save-as your patterns to the backup folder. The backups are only temporary.
