Before submitting, the Flamenco add-on makes a few changes to the blend file, then saves it to thefilename.flamenco.blend. It is this file that gets submitted to Flamenco.

This has a few downsides:

  • Some cache files are stored in a directory blendcache_{thefilename}. This means that they can no longer be found, because Blender will look for them in blendcache_{thefilename}.flamenco.
  • The .flamenco.blend files need to be manually cleaned up if they are no longer necessary.

Instead, it would be better if RNA overrides (#101569) were to be used to change the relevant settings, so that the file can be submitted as-is, under the original name.
