can you assign all image clips that use noIcon.pic to one and the same
source clip?
(in the clip's ppg select each time one and the same in the dropdown list.)
you should be able to delete the other ones then.
I recall doing this manuallly.
And I also recall it is easier said than done if you have a few hundred
clips in the scene.
But the benefit of painstakingly cleaning up redundant clips was worth it

The problem is I can't seem to delete unused noIcon pics. Not through
the interface and not using scripting. Give it a try:
var KillMeIfYouCan =
CreateImageClip(Application.InstallationPath(siFactoryPath) +
"/Application/rsrc/noIcon.pic", "LaLa");
DeleteObj(KillMeIfYouCan);
LogMessage("Still alive! : " + KillMeIfYouCan.FullName);

An on scene load event that chucks out unused clips?

We have heavy object libraries around which contain data up to four
years old and which are always in the flow, adding and removing items
for certain projects. I'd say we never had the slightest chance to
avoid
tens or hundreds of noIcon instances to pile up. Now I'm looking for a
decent way of consolidating. I'm really fine with a single source/clip
pair kept by the scene, it's all the other garbage I want to delete.
And
I can't do so, even if I disconnect every single instance from any
shader and data-whatsoever-container under the hood of the render tree.

well they are system clips, just like the scene_material is a system

if you are a bit careful when working you should only have one of
those clips in a scene..

Heya,
why is it absolutely impossible to delete sources and clips which
reference the noIcon picture??? They pile up to the sky in our
libraries. I want them dead. Now. Except for a single one perhaps.
Anyone found the trigger? ;)
