ultraedit *.bak files and google desktop

[oracledba]

google has a utility which indexes your hard drive and lets you instantly find files on your desktop just as easily as you find stuff on the web. Its called google desktop.

This post is really a problem with google desktop but since it affects all ultraedit users, I am posting my question/issue here.

As you probably know, when you edit an existing file, Ultraedit automatically creates a backup copy of your pre-edit file.
For example you edit "my_file.txt", the pre-edit version of the file is created called my_file.txt.bak

The issue is google desktop is ignoring "my_file.txt" file and instead indexing the my_file.txt.bak" file. I know this is a google issue but if other ultraedit users also can verify they have the same issue and also raise the issue with googe maybe we can get it fixed.

Here is a link I found to raise a desktop bug to googles attention.

Do you know that you can setup UltraEdit to replace existing extension with .bak instead of appending .bak?
Do you know that you can specify a backup directory in UltraEdit, so all backups are saved in this directory instead of spread over the drives?
Maybe you can specify in Google Desktop to ignore the backup directory.
