First off thank you Aoktar!

My issue is that whenever I drag an image file from the file explorer onto an ImageTexture node it doesn't replace the image file in it, it just creates a new ImageTexture node. This happened with the latest 2022 update as well, but no before that. Hope this can be fixed cuz it's a crucial feature. Thanks!

Can you disable "PBR textures=disabled" in Settings/Nodes and try again and report the result?
It's related with this option and ignores the file replacement when it detects you drag a PBR set. I'm changing the behavior to replace file name when you drop over an ImageTexture and ignores the PBR set detection.

Aside: Work is 7days, I don't know why Otoy has people on Mon-Fri and seemingly only in a couple of timezones. My Monday is Sunday in the US so I don't support on (my) Mondays?
Anyway

Does anyone know if 2023.1 has netrender (Mac/PC) back yet????

They've been saying all year "yeah in 2023 probably" but there's no real yes/no in the 2023.1 post. Is it? When? I mean, if it's not in this one, could they at least say "hey sorry it's not but coming soon". And if it is, could they say "hey it is"? Instead there's nothing, like if they pretend it's not a thing, we'll forget about it or something...

Thanks
Alex

I'm aware of your posts, thanks to you for the scene. I'll give attention for that but you need to wait a little. We have several new problems with Maxon's 2024 updates.

Would it be possible to share a scene which shows the difference in speed between primitive & analytic lights? I did a few tests and I don't see any increase in speed (the primitives are actually faster in cleaning the noise) which probably means I'm missing something. Also, is it possible to change the shapes & colours of the lens flare?
