Hi there,  
Whenever I start Nuendo 7 and open a project, it places the following file in the folder:  
ring\_db\_dump.log

This file states:  
2016-Jun-22 10:23:33.111476 | ============== New start =====================

Does anyone know why this is happening and what exactly this file is?

Thanks,  
Grant
