Odd files appear after update

• Aug 23, 2020 - 03:06

I just recently updated Musescore 3 to it's next version. After the update completed, I opened my "scores" folder and found a copy of every file, but with a different file tag (if thats what you call it, I don't know for sure). It would say ".(score name).mscz,"
Is this something I should be alarmed about, or just a bug? Is it safe to remove them?

These are backup files. By default they are supposed to be put into a backup scores folder. Prior to 3.5 you could not open these files without first manually renaming them if you are in need of a backup. I have set my Open file dialog to only look for .mscz and .mscx files (native MuseScore files) rather than all supported so I don't see these unless I change the option.
