Summary0004805: use a more explicit file name for backup files
DescriptionThe presence of some files like
project.FCStd1
that I didn't created really confused me. After some research I discovered that it was a backup file.

I may suggest to rename it to
.project.FCStd1.backup
instead.

First, .backup makes the purpose of the file explicit.
Then, the presence of the dot hides the file (so it doesn't bother the user, when there are many FC files in the same folder) and it also avoid to commit it unintentionally.
