hey all - anybody know how to turn off the autosave batch group to destination folder when iterating function? I just had a nice long break from flame. must be on a newer version now that I’m back. I’m sure this is a feature, but, I’d like to turn it off and never see it again. I’m ending up with my batch groups in all the wrong folders as I iterate before I’ve properly set my save destination folder. just can’t seem to find anywhere within flame to turn this off. seems like it should be in preferences but I can’t find it. hoping somebody can shed some insight. thank you!

I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking but have you seen the Preferences \> System \> Batch & BFX Tab?

Here you can set the default paths for lots of things… batch setups, iterations, name, etc.

Jesse!

This might be what you’re looking for in preferences…

Mike V! That might be it! I’ll check it out. It’s hard to explain what I’m talking about. It’s basically automatically saving my batch groups into my libraries every time I iterate that batch group. It goes wherever I have the save destination set to. But if I haven’t set my save destination for that batch group yet, I don’t want it to do that. I’ll see if unchecking that Save Setup File button is what I’m looking for!
