Back up files
-
Hi, When I save my drawings I get one file for example
SketchUp.skp and another file SketchUp~.skp
Is there anyway I can get the ~ file to save to another place as it's cluttering up my folders.
Thanks Andy

Don't you mean .skb file extension - I've found it's NOT a good idea to delete .skb files.

from within sketchup? no, they'll save in the same place the main file is saving to..
you could right a little automator workflow which helps tidy things up or maybe the simplest way is to do a finder search for ~.skp then move them all somewhere..
with a little more specifics of how you'd like them to be organized, someone could possibly show you a way to automate it.

~.skp is the MAC equivalent of PC's .skb - it's the backup file...
personally, I have them turned off in Preferences, so they don't clutter anything, and Autosave, I only use occasionally...
but I 'Apple S' [save] regularly...
why?
it seems the occasionally SU will attempt to do all 3 at once, updating the ~.skp, the Autosave-.skp and the .skp,
it takes a disproportionate amount of time on even a simple model...
the more Plugins with 'Observers' or open 'Panels', the longer this will take...
I can redraw my changes with a fresh eye quicker than that, so I use 'Save' instead...
I do occasionally come unstuck...
I don't recall any way of setting it to a different folder...
