.cptx and .cptx* - What is the difference?

Hi there

To expound on the answer above, in "programmer speak" the addition of the asterisk trailing the file name means that the project is "dirty". This means what is in your computer memory is different than what has been saved to the hard drive. If your computer were to suddenly lose power, whatever changes had been made after the last save would simply be ignored.

So the asterisk indicates that you should consider saving. But note that you really wouldn't want to continually save and save and save. Because each change in position or keystroke added will result in the asterisk being added.

Cheers... Rick
