Sounds like you need a script to rename the files so there are file1.ext instead of file.ext.1


Won't work, the files all cross reference each other. FileA referenced FileB and C and D which references E and F....

The best that could be done is to purge all but the highest numbered file for each file.ext (I have scripts for that) then rename to remove the .###. That would work, but eliminates the earlier file versions, and would have to be redone frequently. Which kind of defeats the simplicity of double clicking on the file.

Double clicking a file also has the advantage of starting the software, where the working directory is that of the file location.
