Way to Disable Save Embedded Texture Defaults with Small Save?

[Brenda]

This design flaw is a persistent problem for me. If it even remembered my choice from last time, it would not be so bad. If to a CTRL-S, the sidecars are saved–even if I asked to not save them last time. Ick!

So, every file save must be done through the Save-As menu, and then I need to uncheck everything, and if I make even one mistake, I have to delete the sidecar folder–and then find the textures next time.

Saving with textures might be good for people who do a small project, but with a large project with multiple version, or if a document trail is necessary–then save with textures become quite a mess.

I have 365 version of the same project, using the same textures. The files are quite manageable as save-small, later to put into 7zip archives, but with the sidecar folders, it would be unmanageable.

And here are some other people who really want to save small-without textures.

Please allow to say "no" to saving textures to the Rhino file

Fine, I’m glad - so we can reverting back.

And here is another:

Save Texture

How did I let Rhino 8 know that I don’t want to save the texture ever? I need this option to be disabled all the time, but Rhino keeps activating it. Rhino 7 remember my choice and respect it. [image]

Bug in V6 with inserted files and "Save textures" setting

V6 makes massive files if inserted files have textures and the default setting of “Save textures” is on. In other words: A master file shall NOT store the textures of linked files. This is easy to duplicate: 1- make a new file and insert an image. 2- save files as XREF-image (or something else ;)) 3- make a new file and insert the XREF-image file as LINKED [image] 4- don’t add anything else and save file as MASTER 5- check MASTER file’s file size and see that it rather big. 6- now go ba…

More happines, not:

Save textures on , off

How can i set default off “Save textures” ? I know this setting from file/Save as. But i cannot find way to do this default. I often save "cltr+S " . or could i set “save as” short cut ?

This the thread where the incremental Save small, was made impossible because of a change.

V6 Incremental Save Small Button

It appears to save small–once. Not being distracted by anything, was one of the virtues of the save small button. [It might be possible to write a button script that also 7.zip’s the Rhino file. Rhino files generally 7zip compress down to 20% of their original size.]

I am sorry, but is an exception to Rhino 3D’s excellent user interface. Save small should save small by default and get fluffy as an option : )
