Removing Gvim temp files automatically

[daelomin]

Hi,

I've aliased vi to gvim and every time I'm done editing a file, a file~ temp file remains.

This happens even when no crash or problem of any sort happened (and that is highly undesirable as you can imagine

Does anyone have a fix to that?

Thanks!

Whenever you edit any file, OS creates a backup copy of it ( filename~ ). You have to delete those files manually.

find . -name "*~" -type f -print0|xargs -0 rm

hehe I know that

I just meant "is there a way to desactivate the automatic saving"?
