I bought a new laptop recently, and after opening up and saving many of the songs I am working on, I am seeing many versions of the Mixbus file, with this format: song name-7000.ardour and this format: song name-7000-7000.ardour and this format: song name-7000-7000-7000.ardour and even this format now: song name-7001.ardour.
I have no idea why these extra files are appearing, I have no idea which is the last saved file anymore, it is very confusing, why am I suddenly seeing these extra versions of the saved file, when all I have ever done is a simple save, not save as etc?

When you open a session created in version 8 of Mixbus using v9 it will create a session_name-7000 or session_name-7001 backup file (depending on which version of MBv8 was the creator).
Major changes to the audio engine and tempo sections required a 'safe' copy to be made so if you need to go back to version 8 due to some issue, you would open the -7000 session using v8.
A 7000-7000 file means you have opened the v8 backup in v9 twice or 7000-7000-7000 three times etc.
If you are working in v9 then just use the session_name.ardour file.

OK thanks for the reply, I 'think' I understand now, but surely there was a less confusing way to do this?

Perhaps the 7000 copy or whatever# should be saved to the backup folder ?
