      Oh yeah!!! It's done!

       

      I'm checked - the file is really not created on removable devices.

       

      Thank you for listening us and fix the incorrect behavior of the program.

      Walter  Yes, it is finally fixed. Updated from v145.4.4921 to v146.4.4836 and no more automatic file writes.

       

      Thank you.

      It doesn't happen to me anymore. As far as I briefly seen, on version 146.4.4836 this issue seems fixed. I shall need more time to see how this behaves but I shall also thank you in advance for tending to this issue ❤️ If our voice from here really reached the developers, I also congratulate you and the moderator team.
