.props appearing without using Capture

Post by ktbCA57 »

Hi,

I use Flare as my authoring tool... and I have a license for Capture, but seldom use it. However, recently/suddenly, I've noticed than somehow when I add a new image to my Flare project, a .props file is being created as well. I have no idea how or why this is happening - since not only am I NOT using Capture, I don't even have it open.

I don't need or want the .props files in my project... I can delete them, but I would just like to prevent them from being created outside of Capture.

I know this issue sounds bizarre so I suspect it has a simple explanation.

Thanks!

Are you modifying the image in any way, such as resizing from within Flare?

Are you applying a condition to the image file in the Content Explorer? That'll spawn a .props file.

RETIRED, but still fond of all the Flare friends I've made. See you around now and then!

Yep, the props file will store any property you set on the file, like a condition or file tag - so don't delete them without checking.

You can view the props file in a text editor to check what's actually in it.
