Update has changed saving behaviour, I need to change it back!
I edit podcasts. I work on a desktop at home and a laptop at cafes. To make this work, I have a copy of all the big hours-long wav files saved locally on both computers (I transfer them with a usb stick at the start), but then I save the small .rpp on OneDrive. That way, whenever I switch from one computer to the other, the whole project is waiting for me, but it doesn't fill up my precious little OneDrive space.
Here's the problem.
I recently updated Reaper, having not apparently done so for a couple of years. Suddenly now, whenever I use a new file in the episode I'm working on, say I render a take or even drop a piece of music into the timeline that's in my local folder of files for the episode, I find a copy of that file in the OneDrive folder. Sometimes I find out by recieving threats that OneDrive is running out of room.
It's functionally like saving with "Copy Media" selected, but it isn't selected. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I did go googling recently and found what I thought was the answer, naturally I've forgotten what it was now so I can't tell you, but it was something in the preferences that seemed promising and sounded like it would solve it immediately, but it doesn't seem to have. So, don't be annoyed if you suggest something that's obviously the answer (as this was) and I have to tell you it doesn't work! I bet I just applied it wrong.
This is a real problem because it's filling my cloud folder up with multiple gigabytes that I can't afford - recently it did run out of space in the middle of transferring it all and I had to do a lot of emergency surgery. Can you tell what I've got set up wrong?
