Turn off loggin on 'runs' folder

[sscalvo]

Hi there
I am launching YOLO to process thousands of images, in this way:
model = torch.hub.load('ultralytics/yolov5', 'yolov5s')
How can i avoir YOLO to dump content on 'runs' folder (in order to save disk space) ?
Thank you!

@sscalvo I don't understand your question. YOLOv5 models don't save anything unless you specifically run a results.save() command.

Thanks Glenn
Well, definetely i am not doing any results.save()
I am only read-accesing the values that YOLO finds in order to populate a database.

I dont expect you to debug my code, but just to confirm that i am not asking yolo to save anything.. The only thing my python code does related to YOLO is:

   model = torch.hub.load('ultralytics/yolov5', 'yolov5s')
    ...
    results = model(img) 
    for item in results.crop(): 
          # read item properties

and in the console i get this outputs for each image:

Saved 1 image to runs\detect\exp227
Saved results to runs\detect\exp227

I can live with that, but that means i have to delete the runs folder every now and then..
Thanks for your patience

@sscalvo maybe you should read the function you are calling rather than asking me

yolov5/models/common.py

Lines 658 to 661 in aa7a0e9

	def crop(self, save=True, save_dir='runs/detect/exp'):
	save_dir = increment_path(save_dir, exist_ok=save_dir != 'runs/detect/exp', mkdir=True) if save else None
	return self.display(crop=True, save=save, save_dir=save_dir) # crop results

there you go! Thank you very much! 👍🙏

this command line should do it:

python detect.py --nosave --exist-ok
