Hi

I had both ‘~’ and ‘autosaves’ in the same history of the scripts.
We auto version up when you save so in this case there were 60 versions of t he 
script, but within these about 8 also had .autosaves and at least the same with 
‘~’.

I’m suspecting that because Nuke9 seems somewhat flakey with more crashes than 
I had with 8 (apart from Tracker where the opposite was true) these are not 
being cleaned up.

Thanks for the insight.
