The LumenRT updates have left my hard drive with large folders of LRT content;
In addition, I've added a number of LOB files to these folders, created in PlantFactory.
Question are;
Thanks,
Max

Yes if you are on the current update it will looke for the content under the content folder matching that updates name
When updating the software did you run the installer or did you update through the connection client?
if done through the installer each updates installer creates a new content folder which would explain the multiple folders during the install process you can change to an existing content folder to avoid duplicates.
I've just updated to Update 13 (through the Connection Client), and once again I have yet another ~empty content folder on my machine that requires a download for each new item I wish to place in my scene.
This is time consuming, and leaves a 5Gb folder of unused content in my Update 12 folder. Shouldn't your installer script a copy of all Update 12 content into the empty Update 13 folder and then delete the redundant Update 12 folder?
The option to change to an existing content folder did not show up during installation.
As a workaround to resolve this - should I copy over all the contents of Update 12 into Update 13? Or have there been changes in the way old content works with the new update?
I've noticed the addition of just a few Euro trucks and some trains in Update 13.
Hi Max,
few minutes ago finished techtalk about news in LumenRT,
I asked about why is in MS13 lumenRT12 and answer was lumenrt 13 will be released next week , so we need to wait again and we will see

Strange - I've updated to LumenRT Update 13 (16.13.23.16)... will there be another update on top of this next week?
after my instalation of MS13 I still see LRT u12
Just to point out that Update 15 has still not addressed this - I still have 6Gb of stuff in each of the Update 1, Update 10, Update 12 and Update 13 folders. It seems the latest Update 15 content has been placed in the Update 13 folder.
I know I should read the installation folder information during the upgrade, but please could future LumenRT installers be more explicit about what they're doing in future. If all I'm doing is updating to the latest version, I shouldn't have to worry about the accumulation of junk in previous versions.
