Description Raghavendra kamath 2014-10-16 15:59:27 UTC 
If you have a file which auto saves and then hit save. Krita creates an extra copy of the file with a ~ at the end of file name. This file is hidden and may get un-noticed. Having such duplicate copies will eat up hard disk space. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a new document and save it
2.work on it till it gets auto saved
3.after you see the autosave file in hidden items save the file. this will create a file with ~ at the end.


Expected Results:  
All backup files should be deleted after we save an unsaved document

Hi!

This is actually intended behaviour
you have:

bla.kra
* change stuff
krita saves .bla.kra-autosave.kra
* you save again
Krita removes  .bla.kra-autosave.kra
Krita copies the old bla.kra to bla.kra~
Krita saves a new bla.kra
