Disable custom icons for rendered image sequences
Does anyone know how to prevent After Effects from generating a custom icon/thumbnail for each file in a rendered image sequence?
I find the thumbnails to be somewhat annoying so I would love to be able to turn this feature off. Am I overlooking a preference somewhere?
Thanks!

If you see those icons outside of AE, that sounds like an OS thing, no?
Where do you see the icons? Outside of AE or in the AE Project window?

Outside of AE, in the Finder (I’m on a Mac).
It’s not an OS thing, though. These are the same kind of icons Photoshop generates unless you turn off the option in Photoshop’s preferences. So, these icons are baked-into the files by AE as it renders.
I like the icons OS X’s Finder can generate better if I need to have icon display turned on, so I would love to be able to have AE *not* create icons for the files rendered to an image sequence.
Right now, if I get really annoyed, I use a contextual menu plug-in to nuke all the icons when the render is done. This, however, seems silly as it just feels like a preference ought to be able to be set somewhere to stop this behavior in the first place. 🙂
