filename.extension + ~ files
Submitted by ColaColin on Monday, 7 June, 2010 - 01:45
Why is jEdit creating additional files with a leading ~ ?
For example if I edit a main.bsh it will create a main.bsh~ next to the main.bsh.


Is there a way to stop jEdit from doing this ?
I want to edit files in a dir, which will get zipped and stored and i dont need additional files in it.

So you mean trailing, leading

So you mean trailing, leading would be as first character.
This file is the backup or you file before you invoked the save action. You can control the backup feature from the settings. You can switch off backup copies at all, or you can make the backup files go to a specified directory. I tend to set it up to allow multiple backup copies on first save during a session and in the folder "backup" in my settings directory.
