.gitignore and Autosave_x.hip files

[d.healey]

@ustk Mine are. I ignore the entire presets folder.

[ustk]

@d-healey That's what I thought... Although I'm not sure I want to ignore the entire folder

Sure you do :p git can't version control the contents of binary files so there's not much point in tracking them, unless it's just as a backup, but then you should probably just use a backup system.

Oh wait wait wait! They are not in the user preset folder but just the preset one I don't care at all! I'm too tired Dave!

[ustk]

This is definitely irritating... I ignored the entire Presets folder but the autosave files are still tracked...

[d.healey]

@ustk Show me your gitignore

@d-healey

[ustk]

Oh wait it seems to work! I think it is necessary to wait for new autosaves to happen before seeing them ignored...

@ustk

Mine looks like this, don't know if the extra slash makes a difference.

Presets/

[ustk]

@d-healey I don't know about the extra slash, I took the example online when you need to ignore an entire folder so I did the same...

[ustk]

@d-healey They are reappearing! And I also tried without the extra slash..

@d-healey Hero!

@d-healey @ustk This has been driving me nuts too! I gotta try this fix as well.
