[bug?] Mixcraft keeps creating "backup" folder - backup option disabled

Post by Crowley1661 »

When I'm working on a song, I tend to save the project every few seconds out of habit. This can create hundreds of pointless backups, so I disabled the option "create backup file whenever project is saved".

But it seems that Mixcraft hasn't gotten the memo yet. Backups of project files are no longer being created, but it STILL creates an empty Backup folder. And that annoys me because I don't want unnecessary clutter on my music drive.

I can't set the parent folder to Read-Only to block MX from creating the useless folder because I still need to save the projects. But the backup folder needs to go for good.

Hi,

That's there to remind the importance of backing up your projects some other way. :wink:

I'm part Virgo and a neurotic freak. My backups have backups of backups. I don't need the reminder or the useless clutter.

When a feature or an option doesn't behave the way it should, that is called a BUG.
