gedit storing old versions as "xyz"."extention"~

shaunak · 15-07-2007, 06:56 PM

Imm on fedora 7.
I am using gedit to do some basic javascript practice.
Gedit automatically stores the older versions of the file with a "tidle" after the extention eg: "file.js~"
These dont show up in nautilus but get uploaded via ftp, which is very irritating. How do i get rid of them?

imm currently using the command:

Code:

rm -i *.js~

to get rid of them.

This is the default behavior of gedit. I suggest you keep it like that. Anyway, if you want to disable it, Edit->Preferences->Editor->Create a backup copy (untick).

And what will be the consequences of disabling it?
