Save in Worksession - support files textures packed

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

I’m using Worksession in Version 6 SR30 (6.30.20239.17111, 8/26/2020) with an active file which contains points, curves and surfaces, and a reference/support file which includes large meshes with texture. When I Save the active file the support file .jpg texture files are packed, which takes longer than saving the active file. If I use Work In Progress (7.0.20245.13385, 9/1/2020) the packing does not occur. For a portion of my workflow I prefer to work in V6 rather than V7/WIP. Is there any way to prevent the packing of the support file texture files during Save of the active file in V6?

In v6 you probably have at some point saved in such a way that you had Save Textures checked. To no longer save those with the file you can choose File > Save As and in the file dialog uncheck Save Textures. Continue to save with the same name.

I believe this is an application setting, so next time you save (a new file) I think this setting is no longer checked.

Thanks for the reply. Unchecking Save Textures eliminated the packing of Worksession support file textures during Save in V6.

Interesting the the packing of Worksession support file textures does not occur during Save in WIP/V7 independent of whether Save Textures is checked. That is the appropriate behavior because Save during a Worksession (not Save of the Worksession) should only save anything directly associated with the active file.

It may very well be something changed in the code regarding this.

I expect code changed. I regard the behavior of V6 as a bug, but not one that needs to be fixed. If WIP/V7 behaved the same way I would be requesting a fix. Thanks again.
