Can I stop KDE from making a copy of a file I just overwrote?

  • 772

Let' say I overwrite a text file named test.txt in KDE. KDE will make a copy of the old file and save it as test.txt~ in the same directory.

Is it possible to disable that? I make copies of the old files I need, so it's highly annoying to have every file in two versions.

kubuntu

    You can disable this by opening your editor of text, then go to preferences and disable automatic backup.

    If you are using kedit, then go to settings > configure > disable backups when saving text.
