Multiple external mapping files generated

Sometimes when I run the custom tool for xxx.lqml in VS 2010 it generates a new mapping file, xxx2.xml, xxx22.xml, etc. What is the reason of this behavior?

Could you please specify the steps you perform when this issue occurs? We couldn't reproduce this behaviour in our environment.

I could reproduce it. It happens in Visual Studio, when the .xml file is read only, because it is not checked out of the source control.
The DevartLinqToSqlGenerator tries to update the mapping file, but it can't, because it is read only. I think this is the main reason of the problem.

Could you please specify the source control system you are using? I've tried setting the file to be read-only, and was prompted to make it writable when saving the model.

In my machine it does not depends on the source control, i simply make the file read only using explorer it reproduce the issue.
To make sure, it happens in Visual Studio, not in Entity Developer.

Could you please specify the following:
- the product you are using (e.g., LinqConnect or dotConnect for Oracle);
- the exact (including the build number) version of this product;

At the moment, we couldn't reproduce this issue.
