Nuke script duplicated upon publishing

Hello,

When I publish a render to AYON, it is creating a new copy of the nuke script and saving it in a different path. This is not ideal as that takes up twice as much disk space as needed. How can I avoid the publish to also publish the workfile? I only wish to publish the render in Nuke. Core v1.3.2, Nuke addon v0.3.11

Aren’t Nuke scripts (.nk) usually relatively quite small? (Especially relative to a comp, vfx or animation project in general?)

Anyway, you should be able to disable the Workfile instance in the publisher UI if you really want that.

It’s worth mentioning that some people prefer to publish the workfile to ensure thay have an exact copy of the workfile when a particular version of a product is published.

This can be helpful if for debugging or to reproduce the same result with the exact setup/values. imagine a user changed their local file after publishing and they are no longer able to reproduce the same exact previous result.

There are also some recent enhancements added to enforce publishing the workfile.
