It's not so simple, actually. Appending "copy" to the filename is what Finale does if you've told it to "make backups when saving" in the Program Options. If you haven't set a specific bacup location (in Program Options>Folders), it will make the backups right next to the actual file. Then, when it backs up a second time, it adds "copy" again to keep the filenames unique. I would recommend creating a folder (somewhere in ~/Documents, probably) called "Autosaves and Backups" and selecting that one as your default location for autosave and auto-backup files. That way, all of the backups with "copy" on them will be out of sight unless you actually need to call on them. -- Brad Beyenhof [EMAIL PROTECTED] my blog: http://augmentedfourth.blogspot.com Life would be so much easier if only (3/2)^12=(2/1)^7. _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
