Problem description: geany generates a new file(with a lock and a cross symbol ) with a random extension after the original extension every time when I save the file.

Check you do not have backups enabled on the save-actions plugin.
In my save-actions, nothing is enabled.

Hmm, save_actions uses a time and date extension anyway, not a random one.
By default Geany does not generate those files, so it must be some plugin or setting.
Try a completely default Geany by running `geany -c /tmp/non_existant` and see if it still generates those files.
If it doesn't then compare the settings and plugins with your normal ones to see what you have that is not default and causes it.
Hi, I compared the settings, there is no abnormality.
this is the screenshot of the generated files. Still it has this problem.
the utilfunctions.py is the original file.

Just to be completely clear running `geany -c /tmp/something_that_does_not_exist` opening a file, making a change and saving it generates a version with the random extension?
If that happens it is something outside Geany that is doing it, if you ran Geany with the command above it will use totally default settings, and nothing in Geany's default settings generates such files.
sorry that was not clear. When I run
geany -c /tmp/something_that_does_not_exist
it opened a file and after saving it, it didn't have that problem. Only with my own files.
How can I go back to default settings?

On a Linux system the normal Geany user configuration is in `~/.config/geany` and the easiest way is to delete it when geany is NOT running (note its a directory, not just a file, you should delete the directory and all its contents). When you next start Geany it will create a new configuration with default values.
Hi, thank you for your solution. Don't know what the problem was, but now it's solved.
Thank you. Have a nice day
