Tilde added to newly created files, then duplicates the file
Europa Universalis 4 save game editor

When the editor creates files that don't currently exist (e.g. after loading a mod, and then changing province data), it prefixes the file with a tilde the first time it edits it, and then creates another without the tilde. This makes keeping track of changes difficult as I'm not sure which file the scenario editor and the game will use.
Tilde files are created as backups in case the editor malfunctions or the user accidentally edits a file they didn't intend to. The game and the editor both ignore them.
Creating a tilde file when a new file is created is not intended but not really a problem.
