Capture 17.4 Creating PNG Files on Every Save

Capture has started creating a .png image of my schematic every time I save. I do need this cluttering up my directories. How do I disable it?

    Usually it creates png in capture project directory which is used on start page to show the thumbnail of project in recent project list. But I have not seen this issue of creating different png images one every save in Capture.

    Which hotfix of SPB17.4 you are using? I have not found this issue of creating png on every save on hotfix 32 and 34.

    Perhaps it's not on every save, but it makes a new one often. I'm on HF 33. I'm looking for a way to disable it. I don't use the start page, and the file confuses our CM people because it changes even when I access a read-only approved schematic.

    Same issue here running 17.4-2019 S033. Has anyone been able to disable this feature?

    It seems to be a 'feature' to show a thumbnail of the design in the recent bar on the front page. Hopefully there's a way to disable it to stop the clutter.
