Cakewalk assets file ! (SOLVED)

When i save a cakewalk file, theres also a secondary file created

if i save : Mysong.cwp
then there is a file called: Mysong.cwp.assets

I have never seen that before !

is it needed at all, and what file is it
can i choose not to create it ?

Cant remember seeing that file in earlier versions of sonar !

    This file is used by Gobbler to know what files/videos and paths are referenced in your project for properly backing it up. It cannot be turned off. There's an options in preferences to turn it off, I totally forget we added that since we first added the feature.
     
    You can ignore it if you want when backing up your projects, but it will be re-created on the next save.

    hmm this look interesting :

    Preferences > File > Advanced "Save Asset Manifests with Project"
    To get to "Advanced" settings make sure the Advanced radio button is selected at the bottom of the Preferences dialog.

    By this post : http://forum.cakewalk.com/How-do-you-disable-Gobbler-so-I-dont-have-all-those-assets-files-m3033904.aspx 

    thought you said it was not possible to turn it off, seth !

    (EDIT: ) i unticked the : Save Asset Manifest with Projects, hit apply and ok.
    then saved my template : Jans Start

    now when i start my template, work on it and save it as cwp
    there's no assets file with the project
