Will krita overwrite .kpp files when saving brushes in 4.0?

Krita seems to make a new file with some random character string in its name every time I save changes of my brush preset. (I'm using Windows)

I've heard that the 4.0 is gonna have some new brush editing functions, so I'm wondering if this mechanism is also gonna be changed along the way. Because (not usually, but sometimes) it seems to lead krita to misload files and display fake presets in the docker.

The mechanism has changed a bit: the random characters are now a timestamp, and the last version is always without a timestamp(as opossed to the other method). This should make managing the brushes a bit easier.

As long as you don't delete the blacklist files, none of that bogus stuff should happen though.

Thanks. Actually I started to dig out what's going on with the files since it happened out of nowhere. And I had to delete the other files and reload the last one to remove the fake presets in the docker.

It still happens sometimes, but it's not a big deal actually. It costs me just a few clicks.
But I'd be glad if it ain't happen anymore with the new mechanism.
