Is there any way to disable the photobooth ?

[Shade]

i can't see one in the options , maybe there is one in files i can edit ?
is there a way to remove it ?
official or modded options are fine by me

But it's completely, 100% optional to begin with.
What would this "disabling" possibly do?

Probably prevents OCD from the constant icon in the armory.

Stop it clogging my system drive with images, for one. I would honestly love it if the automatic photobooth could be disabled. Let me still take images if I want to, but stop generating them for me.

Exactly
If it only took pictures when i told it to , that would be ok and it would not require disabling

Just delete the campaign folder once you are finished? They're just a few hundred kb each anyways.

Two campaigns worth is like 84 mb...

Have you considered the possiblity that not everyone enjoys having their time wasted? (If you disagree then please go to your bin, empty it on the floor, and then clean up again)

Yes, because going through my computer to delete a single folder is exactly the same as strewing refuse around my room and picking it up all over again.

Whatever will I do without that minute of my life?!

Have you considered the possibility that you are very bad at analogies?

The point remains that the auto-generated snapshots should be optional. The majority of them suck hard, anyway, with soldiers blocking each other, clipping through scenery or with half the team cut off.

[SunDrippedDevil]

It is what is. If they patch in a way to stop it from auto-generating images then great.

For now, just be thankful that the game conveniently arranges the images in self-contained and numbered folders for each campaign that can be easy deleted when you are finished with them.

Non-issue in my opinion.

Yep, arguing by analogy is as old as the internet. Actually quite a bit older, I used to run a BBS and the message boards were just as full of fallacious arguments then as they are today.

You and your fancy 9600 baud modems, AOL, BBSes, and having to get off the internet when ma wanted to use the phone.

In my day, all we had were some cups and strings but we were still intellectually dishonest and cognitively dissonant.

Setup a task to purge the folder every reboot. Or use a cleaning tool to do it for you.

I think you'll find arguing by analogy a few thousand years older than that

Terrible analogies via smoke signals? I'm just trying to wrap my head around the applicable technology...

Or, here's an alternative:

Let me set the preferred pose for all of my soldiers, such that any automatically-generated photos of them will at least "look right." The story I wrote for my version of Jane Kelly seems to work best for either the "Contemplative" or "Over The Shoulder" poses (you know, those brooding, "cool guys don't look at explosions" poses), yet I keep getting photos of her doing weird fist pumps or sporting a cheesy grin with a thumbs-up pose.

Put it this way - my character's "Attitude" setting doesn't change from mission to mission.
