Max forcing backup

[aaouviz]

Hi all,

I know this isn't a Corona issue; but I'm hoping to use the brains trust anyway...

I recently had to do a clean install of my entire system. Now I'm experiencing slightly odd behavior with 3DS Max which never happened before.

When I "paste" (using this script: https://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/maxcopypaste), 3ds max forces a backup. It isn't an ordinary autoback but rather a "filename_backup.max" saved in the original folder (not the backup folder).

Any idea why or how this is happening? As I said before; this didn't happen, so I'm guessing it's not the script causing it, but rather some hidden 3ds max option I'm unaware of.

Thanks for any help!

Hi,

maybe scene converter, configured for automatically starting, automatically removing missing assets and with  "Backup Original Files" ticked :) Press "x" type "scene conv.." and check lower left part.


Good Luck

Thanks Frood.

I think you're spot on!

Seems to have stopped this from happening.

Cheers mate.
