when ever i create or edit a file in ubuntu a new hidden file with the same name is created and saved, for example if i created a file named "file1" and then edit it with gedit a new file will be created with the name "file1~" and the new file will always be there? it wont be deleted after i finish editing?
i've noticed this for along time, can someone explain this for me..plz
thanx in advance...

By default, Gedit creates a backup of files you are editing. You can disable that in Gedit's setings..

thanx man for the quick reply,,
one more question, plz
i want to edit /usr/share/applications/nautlis.desktop
but i can't access it though nautlis, and i tried opening nautlis in SU mode but still and i even tried showing the hidden files and still no luck.
the only way i can edit this file is through the terminal.
any ideas? coz i edited it before through nautlis, but now it' doesn't apear.
