Thanks for the reply. What you say probably explains it, I didn't know the Template directory had that function. I have 2122 directories and 36281 files in my Projects folder, which take up around 6G of space. Crawling through all of that would take quite a bit of time and could use a lot of resources.
This is probably not a bug, but a user error. :) Cheers, Ragnar P.s. I may just begin using the Templates folder the way it was intended from now on. :) On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 11:11 PM, Sebastien Bacher <[email protected]>wrote: > Thank you for your bug report, do you have a lot of things in your > Projects directory?
