gEDA-user: PCB file accumulation

["Gary L. Roach" <gary719_list1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I've been working with gschem and pcb for several weeks and there are a 
couple of things  that really drive me crazy.

1. Is there any way to keep the pcb.back files from ending up in my home 
directory.

2. What is the meaning of the number sequence on the backup files.

3. The buildup of the .pcb------- files and the .pcb.new.------ files 
becomes very confusing. I have to go by date and time to figure out 
which is the one I'm working on. In addition the date and time can shift 
if the wrong file is opened and closed.  Why not use first in last out 
instead of first in first out so that the file .pcb is the one you are 
working on.

Generally gEDA is a very useful suit.
