Way to Disable Save Embedded Texture Defaults with Small Save?

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

I have done nearly all of my saves, since starting to use Rhino, as small saves.
Lately, the default to save textures (in folder) on Save Small has been causing problems.

I keep all the textures for a project–with the project.
At one time, it was possible to do an incremental-save-small (without textures) but that has been broken for some time.

I think the problem is: saving small now wants you to save the textures.

So, now Saving Small, which is no longer small has to be done by Saving, which means that the file dialog must now adjusted for every save. Sigh. : (

Even if you “Save” manually and choose “Save Small,” it will not remember your choice. What a disimprovement.

So wait what’s happening exactly? It’s saving the textures when you savesmall?

I went in to the advanced options and turned off everything to so with embedding textures. I don’t think it was doing that for me, but I indeed got sick of every SaveAs or Export asking for the blasted feature that just guarantees it will eventually lose track of the textures. Too bad I can’t do the same to just take away the option to ever NOT SaveSmall.

Hi -

It appears to be an ongoing discussion; RH-80331 Save - keep the texture setting

You should be able to make a macro to save small without textures and use that from a button, a keyboard shortcut, or an alias.

It is more difficult to do a save small–without textures than it was before. Now, if you want to one, you always have to go through the complete dialog.

Some time ago, someone had written a script to incremental-save-small, but apparently, the underlying functionality was broken in a later build.

In the spirit of versioning, when I work on a project, I do an additional save each day it is worked on–and just before major changes.

Every single save I have ever done in Rhino 3D–has been save small with no textures, as they are all in the folders with the projects, as they should be.

The problem is exasperated: even if you do a Save with Save Small without textures saved, Rhino doesn’t remember, or doesn’t check the file attributes or payload.

Does anyone really want to do a Save Small–with embedded textures?
