My problem is basically the title. Whenever I save the .blend file, the animations aren’t updated. However, deleting the file from the project folder and then re-saving it works just fine. Any solutions?
On a side note, I’m using the legacy animation system for this file.
What happens when you right click on the file and chose “Refresh” from the menu?

Nothing. 
Well, my last crack at the simple - what happens when you right click on the file and chose “Reimport” from the menu?
I usually just export as an .fbx file directly from blender - so any other solution is above my pay grade

That didn’t work either. Thanks for trying.
I tried changing the rig type to mecanim generic. Same problem. I also tried changing the model itself, but there are no problems there.
