ADD Additional Document Data Files

When saving a document, a file containing additional information about document settings may be created.

In the Program Settings window, you can choose which information you want to keep:

The file name of the additional information is created from the name of the original document + the .add extension. For example:
  • Document Name: index.html
  • Additional information file name index.html.add

How can I keep ADD files from being created?

Many people have asked what to do to prevent Spider from creating ADD files when saving a document. The solution is very simple - if none of the above options is checked, ADD files will not be created.

Keep in mind that this greatly limits your ability to use the advanced features of the editor(Tasks, bookmarks, etc. will not be remembered when the document is closed! )

Quickly delete ADD files

Over time, the additional document information files in a particular project may no longer be needed (e.g., after work is completed). To delete them all quickly, use the command in the menu Projects / Site Properties / Site Purge.
