template backup names?

[Dave Martin]

So, why is there a process ID in the extension added to the backup file created by a template action?  Any why not put it at the end so they sort correctly?

The process id is ephemeral - by the time you go look a the file, that process is long gone.  What use is it?

Nobody believed that I could build a space station here.  So I built it anyway. It sank into the vortex.  So I built another one.  It sank into the vortex.  The third station burned down, fell over then sank into the vortex.  The fourth station just vanished.  And the fifth station, THAT stayed!

I'm guessing its intended to prevent collisions rather than as an audit tool?

Ahhh, thanks.

I can see that.  It's still makes them hard to sort out, though.
