Option to clear current sketch directory when saving

in General Discussion • Other • 1 years ago

Is there an option somewhere for deleting all previously created data from one sketch to another when saving?

For example, I have Sketch1 that I am working on. I have some screen shots of the sketch in the current working directory. Now when I save a new version of this sketch, call it Sketch2, all the screenshots I saved previously in Sketch1 are copied to my new sketch directory with the pde files. I don't remember this being the case before v1.5.1.

How do I turn this off?

It has always been that way. When you save a sketch, it just copies the sketch directory. Perhaps you should save your screenshots elsewhere - the sketch folder is not a working directory, it's for your app.

" the sketch folder is not a working directory, it's for your app"
True in many ways (backup, VCS...), conceptually.
But that's the default save path, and the only one that is truly available cross-platform.
