Description

When running experiments, encoded images from the TSV are automatically saved to the LMUData folder. Is there a way to skip saving them to optimize disk space usage? Would be nice to have such a arg.

Thanks!

Research direction

Start by tracing where encoded images from TSV inputs are written into the LMUData folder and how experiment arguments are defined. Confirm whether an existing argument pattern can control this behavior. Done means an option skips image saving while preserving the current default, with the relevant behavior verified by the project's tests or experiment workflow.
