I just started looking at TiddlyDesktop on Ubuntu, but I don't like the number of backup files generated. I saw references to LessBackups plugin, but it doesn't seem to exist for TW5. Is there a way to turn off or limit the number of backups? I don't really need them at all as I'm saving to my synced google drive.
Thanks

You can turn backups off in the latest release. You need to do it wiki by wiki as the default is on.

Didn't see that option until you told me it was available. Then I found it behind the "advanced" button.
Thanks. IMO this makes TiddlyDesktop much more usable. Otherwise I would have had to set up a cron job to delete backups!
Thanks.

I totally agree. Infinite redundant backups are a PITA. I do kinda understand why TW got burdened with doing backups. But, frankly, I think it wastes a good programmers' time. Backup for me is a backup program that I can set as I need, not some half-way-there compromise I have to manage.

I leave the backups as they are. Then, at the end of a week (or at the beginning), I just run a free portable utility to delete all backups automatically. No big deal!
