What these hidden files??

[allosunshine]

I've just been diong some backups and the program I use was showing some files that had the filename.jpg.file and also filename.avi.file.
Does anyone know that the .jpg.file hidden file is and are they safe to delete??

Cheers

Could be temporary copies of the current file for a backup or something. Is the program an image/video editor?

Perhaps a temporary "autosave" sort of feature, so if your computer crashes, it can recover the file.

Why do you need to delete them? Are they large files? If you aren't deleting any other part of the program, I wouldn't delete them.

As above they are normaly created by a program as a backup, Like an image convertor. rename them to .avi and .jpg and see if they open.
