View Full Version : Saving Hidden backup files?

After Upgrading the schools computers to ActivPrimary 2.5.54 (LOVE the new features by the way!) i found that the larger flipcharts were taking up more space than they should have. After some investigating, i found that the when some of the flipcharts were saved, another file - sometimes two files of exactly the same size (with a different random name and no .flp file extension) were also created, effectively taking up double the space just the saved flipchart should.

When i give these "extra" files the .flp file extension, they open in activprimary and are indeed, a replica of the main flipchart saved so im guessing these are backup files activprimary creates to recover flipcharts after a crash but im also guessing that they should be deleted once the program has closed successfully.

Is this a known bug and is it fixed in the newer versions of 2.5? (id prefer to know before running round the school again manually upgrading the workstations.

Thanks in advance.
