Topic: Multiple database files
I am observing a funny behavior when I close VirtualDJ. Instead of writing the updates to database.xml on exit, it creates a new file (database2.xml, database3.xml, database4.xml and so on) on every exit. My main database.xml file is a few MBs while these database2,3,4 files are a few tens or hundreds of KBs which leads me to believe that they contain only incremental database updates in terms of file tag edits or track color changes that I made in the session that just i just exited from.

How do i get VDJ to write all my updates to the default database.xml ?

VirtualDJ does not create databases named like that, it only creates database.xml
Often the numbered ones are created by Apple iCloud if you have synced your documents folder using iCloud and it finds conflicts (used VirtualDJ on different computers before iCloud was able to sync the database perhaps)

Oh that makes a lot of sense. My folder WAS synced to the apple cloud. Thats a revelation.
Thank you!!
