This option appears when you save a .car file. So my question is: WHAT DOES IT DO?! I thought it would be like Photoshop's thumbnails, but no. I REALLY would like this, cause I work on three or four files at a time, and never have the good sense to name them something descriptive. So Doc1 it is. The Carrara Bible covieniently skips over this "feature", so I was wondering if you gurus had any ideas. Peace, Hoborg

The save preview is for use with the Objects Tray; If you save the file to use a resource from the Objects Tray this feature creates a little picture of the objects in the scene the way the Shader Tray creates a little sphere of the shader. Mark

Excellent!! thanks. hey, you can tell me. You Programmed Carrara, didn't you? Come on, It's obvious. I'm not blaming you for crashes; I can understand why you wouldn't lend your name to that, but you have so much undocumented knowloedge.... Hoborg
