Hmm, Interesting discovery that i do not know if it will help track the
source of the issue..

If i type in terminal,,,
gambas3 /path/to/my/project
then no cache folder is created at all (what i first noticed)

If i type without project folder
gambas3

then the cache folder gets made and stays until i exit the IDE.
Seems to be the Welcome form doing it

I tried my editor that has htmlview and webview and running that did not
make cache folder?

I just discovered this....

I load the IDE with a project folder argument and no cache folder is made.

About gambas = no cache folder
Prefs = no folder

Open Project dialog.
No folder when pressing the tabs except for 1
Examples

The second i press Examples on the Open project dialog the cache folder
gets made and stays until closing the IDE

Maybe that helps?

Thanks again
BruceS
