Title: can i find out the tgd file i used to print a bmp? If all i have is the bmp.

Is there any way to know which terragen .tgd file i used to print out the .bmp from the finished render?
I have a bad habit of changing names and not putting scenes in there own directory with the associated files.

Hi Doug,

Probably not from a previously rendered .bmp file.  

I'm not sure how the folder name is determined for "temporary output files" and if that might be of use in determining the render project file.

The best way would be to include the render variables ${TGDNAME} in the name of the output file when rendering.

I image it might be possible to write a script that would parse the TGD files within a folder structure and let you know the output file paths.
