Assuming we have a database project called MyDatabase then a file called MyDatabase.jfm appears in the root of the project directory.
- It is exclusively locked while the project is open in Visual Studio
- It is a binary file
- It has only started appearing recently (past couple of days)
I have done a Google search, which has not offered any insight. There are some references to some old software, but most of the results are spam/trojanware. I have also looked in SO, but that has not produced any results either.
Does anyone know what it is and why it’s there?
The plan is to add it to the gitignore file for Visual Studio, but I need to know what it is first to submit the PR…
UPDATE
This is now breaking the Team Explorer Changes view. There are no changes being shown with the following from the Output window:
As such I will be adding the file to the .gitignore file and submitting the PR. It would be good to eventually learn what this file is and where it came from…
