What version of Origin are you using? You can find out by selecting Help : About Origin. There should be a version number after "v.". If not, open your Script window (Window : Script Window) and type in and execute the following:
@v=;
Note: To execute it, highlight the line and press the ENTER key on your keyboard
Also, what kinds of files are you importing and how are you importing them into Origin? We support several different file types and have just as many import routines, so I would need to know which one(s) you are using.
Just to note, Origin does have a backup feature, but this is available for project files (OPJs) only. This feature can be enabled/disabled by checking/unchecking the Backup project before saving check box on the Open/Close tab of the Options dialog box (Tools : Options).
quote: Importing files sometimes leaves extraneous copies of those files in the ORIGIN directory; like it's doing an autosave or something. Why?
The version of Origin I am using is v7.0220. The types of files I am importing are large ASCII with a *.htac extension. I am importing using a couple of different home-grown import routines.
