I've updated my test system here to 2021/11/24, but haven't had a lot of time to do much testing...

Usually, what I'll do, is have a terminal window, or two, open and running mystic -l. These are usually open while I'm working on an MPL, but they would not be actively running them.

I'll then have Geany open on the other monitor, with the MPS file. I have a hotkey set up in Geany to run MPLC on that MPS file.

Then I'll run the MPL from one of the terminal windows for testing.

Thank you for checking. :)

g0> Can you provide more specifics about which files are being renamed to

I have deleted a lot of the conflicted files, but here is a list of ones still on my test system:
history [conflicted].dat
mystic [conflicted].dat
mystic [conflicted 2].dat
mystic [conflicted 3].dat
mystic [conflicted 4].dat
nodeinfo (conflicted).now
nodeinfo (conflicted 1).now
nodeinfo (conflicted 2).now
nodeinfo [conflicted 2].now
nodeinfo [conflicted].now
rcslogin [conflicted 7].mpx
users [conflicted 6].dat
winter [conflicted].mps
winter [conflicted].mpx

I have had some of the .log files show the 'conflicted' as well.

g0> running/compiling it, maybe the OS is doing it or the editor you are
g0> using to edit the source file is doing it when it is not able to save?

I do have Geany set up to auto-save every 5 minutes, but I'll save before I compile it. Also, I'm not sure why there would be any issues with the mystic.dat, or even nodeinfo.now files, as I don't mess with those files at all.

I have to head into work now, but have tomorrow off. I'll see if I can do some investigating, and run some tests with the new pre-alpha as well.

Thank you for taking a look at this. It's not a major problem. It's more of an inconvenience. :)
