Prevent job folders from being created

Post by sabbied1 »

Hi,

If I'm not mistaken, adding an asterisk (*) at the end of a Path should prevent job folders from being created.
That's what I did (Series*), but job folders are still being created. And then I mean the folders with _UNPACK etc
in front of them, or are those no job folders?

Thanks in advance,

Are you using Series sorting at the same time?
If so, the * is ignored because Series sorting has it's own algorithm which requires a temporary folder.
The Sort expression will determine where the end result lands.

Yeah, I'm using series sorting as well. That explains why it won't work.
Well, I guess I will have to get used to some unpacks failing because
the max number of characters in a path on windows was exceeded.

Thanks for the quick reply.
