Parity creating snapshots even if disabled

[iFA88]

Greetings,

I use Parity/v1.8.3-beta-b49c44a-20171114/x86_64-linux-gnu/rustc1.21.0 precompiled release with the command:

parity --no-periodic-snapshot --no-warp --tracing on --pruning archive

But Parity still creating snapshots:

I'll take this.

I've been unable to reproduce this. The --no-periodic-snapshot flag is parsed correctly and the snapshot watcher service is not started. Is this still happening to you? Do you have more of the logs available?

Version Parity/v1.8.4-beta-c74c8c1-20171211/x86_64-linux-gnu/rustc1.22.1 does not produce this, so I think its solved.
The snapshots folder is also empty.

I checked out v1.8.3 and couldn't reproduce it there either. Please reopen if you see this happen again.
