Hey Thorbjørn, I always downloaded Tiled from the official site. The folder spam started in 2022, altought I noticed there was already folder for 2021 (but a single one).
The folder names sounds like some linux codename releases. It seems to be a word generator that adds 3 words together;
"barely-viable-shiner"
"terminally-unique-dragon"
"randomly-careful-yeti"
and so on.
I'm led to think this is related with Tiled because of files content (see screenshots)
In most of the folders I checked, there was 2 JSONS Files:
operate-context.json
operate-log.json
Theres got to be more files generated but I don't know what (because 44,140 folders with 2 files in each does not reach the amount of files I had to delete)
Here's a link with a quick montage of everything I got (sorry no time to do something pretty): LINK TO IMAGE
EDIT: Turns out that the issue was related to Itch.io App, not Tiled.
I've come across an unusual folder nestled in my HDD and upon further investigation, I discovered that Tiled was autonomously generating folders with nonsensical names on my drive, without my explicit permission. While browsing through various discussions, I've encountered numerous mentions of false positives, but perhaps there's more truth to them than initially presumed.
A staggering total of 44,140 folders have been generated, with 54 appearing just today, despite not actively engaging with the application; it seems to be operating surreptitiously in the background. I'm presently in the process of deleting the primary directory, which harbors over 132,000 files.
I'm hesitant to attribute malicious intent to the Tiled developers, but there's undoubtedly a significant issue at play here.
I use the download version and I'm on Windows 10. When I load back my project, the scrollbar is always gone, but I just noticed that the scrollbar re-appear when I move an item from one of the lines thats filled (that goes over the screen edge). However, it doesnt restore the scrollbar when moving other items, in lines that are not filled.
Here's the project: LINK
And screenshot (without scrollbar):
