not sure if this is even possible:
Can the icon 'feature' be turned off when DS saves a render?Umm, could you do a screen shot of what you mean coz I'm not sure what you mean by 'feature'.
ThanksNot sure about anyone else, but when I save a render in DS, it also saves an icon. for instance, I save a render named Filename.png, I'll end up with that file, and another right next to it named Filename_png_icon.png
Yeah, it gets annoying. I got rid of it but I don't quite remember how I did it. There is no turn off/on feature for Daz Studio.
I just created a new directory to save to and it hasn't created .icon files sense. I think it creates .icon to the first/default directory render you set up. If you save it to a different folder from the default/first one, it should stop creating .icon files.
Also, don't open the "Render Library" tab. That will also regenerate the .icon files.
It might be the fact you are saving as png?
Personally, I save renders as jpgs.
I have never had DS try to create an icon for a render.
:0/
Mind you I save to a remote location not referenced to the Render Library, I think that will be the more likely reason.
I think it is used for your render library the one you can view inside of your DAZ studio, it is like a thumb nail like thing I do believe.
yeah, the different folder would most likely get rid of them...
As far as thumbnails are concerned, rendered pics that get put in the library show up same size as a thumb, and when you 'mouse over', it shows a nice sized view of the render. So, there is no good reason to even have them.
I wonder if the coders @ DS would eliminate some lines of code to get rid of them...I agree - icons are a must for the scene library since there is no other image associated with a duf file. But since an image file can be its own icon, then it seems a needless waste of disk space (a small waste, I admit, especially with multiple terabyte drives, but still a waste just the same).
