All of a sudden I am getting multiple files saved into my project folder, as shown, not sure what I am doing wrong. Within the file is the second image.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. This started happening in RW 9.5 so I went back to RW 9.3.4, but now the same is happening there.

I am sure it is my error, but I have never had this happen before.

Well, whatever I did is now history, as I rebuilt the project in RW 9.5 and this time no extra files being saved. If anyone knows why or how this happens, I would still be interested in knowing why. Thanks

Hi @Pete,

My guess is it was a hickup in macOS, causing it to display each Time Machine shadow copy as an actual file, as it isn’t possible to save multiple files with the same name in the same project folder in macOS.

Cheers,

Erwin

I wish Apple techs would learn if it works, leave it alone. All these updates, ugh. It was the reason I left the PC world. Stability is so much more valuable to me. As I noted, I redid the project and all seems to be fine for now. Thanks for you help in understanding what might be happening.
