Heck, feel free to step on anything I say whenever you want to - the more info we have on all these bryce things the merrier :)

I've only noticed these files happening when I try and save a br5 file over the top of an existing br5 file (as opposed to when saving to an entirely new file, in which case I haven't seen any axifff files). Haven't seen any axifff files at any other time though.

I think the bryce overwriting process goes as... firstly, bryce creates an axifff which contains the br5 of your new scene file that you want to save, then it creates a second axifff which is a copy of the file about to be overwritten, then it copies the first axifff to overwrite the existing file. At the end of all that writing, thats when bryce (or its meant to) deletes the axifff's. So when bryce crashes during the save, you're left with some or all of the axiFFF things, depending on where in the save process it crashes. Or at least thats what I think I can see happening on my HDD. Yeah, I watched the axiFFF files in the directory be created (and the sizes they had lol) when I overwrite an old br5 file lol - worse than watching the render line ;).

The cut and paste thing electroglyph mentions is a new one on me - will definitely have to give it a go next time something untoward happens :)
