Hello! My team is having 2 problems with fmod\_editor.log & git:

1. It seems that for some reason we can’t ignore that file. It just keeps appearing
2. To make things worse, the file is “open” all the time for Unity, and you cant erase it or merge it unless you close Unity, which is very bothersome. Is there some way to turn it off?

Pablo.

Worked for me when I forgot to add the log file to the .gitignore file.
