Hi all!

I have a problem with saving .cxr file format. Each time render is saved one big .cxr file with all elements in it + all render elements in a separate .cxr files are saved. It is not a problem to delete them manually, but it is a bit annoying. Is there a way to save only one file with all elements included?
I'm using backburner to render my files so saving a render from VFB is not an option.

thanks in advance,
Josip

I think the only way would be to keep elements enabled but erase any file paths for those elements which you don't want to save separately. This way it'll only save the .cxr from the VFB but elements will still be included in this one.

I am saving in EXR and do not have separate elements files, it have option to store all render elements, if you save for example JPG, render elements will be separate
