asd files, how to hide them?

Post by xkx » Tue Aug 02, 2022 9:35 am

I am sick of seeing the asd files, is there anyway to hide them? I couldn't find the relevant topic, I got 1000 hits when I searched asd.

Thanks

You only can hide them if the file manager you are using offers such an option. Windows Explorer and MacOS Finder don't have this feature.

You can turn off the creation of the asd files in Preferences if they really bother you.

O thanks.

How would I do that, I can't see that option in preferences.

Also, is it bad to turn off their creation, will it affect my files?

Disable the option Create Analysis Files on the File/Folder tab in Preferences.

Here some info what the asd files are used for.
