In an svn environment (and in a common folder structure) these intermediate files are pretty annoying. Will they be removed in any future version?

At least, there are no *.o files from the compiler!

Ever heard of the possibility to ignore files in an VCS?
At least git has the option to ignore all files of a specific type, I guess SVN has this too and if not, ignore every single one.

You can ignore them in SVN. Are you using Tortoise SVN?

Of course I do, thats what you normally do with auto generated files, you ignore them. But in a project overview you always see non versioned files. Annoying! And even in you do not use svn you have messy folders.

Just image Word would leave temporary files in your directory...

I do not want to complain, I just want to show what could be improved

so you'd rather rerun the whole build process? afaik these intermediate files serve the same purpose as .o files.

When I'm done with a map I won't need to build it again
