Cleaning up options will be welcome in the new version of RC.
Such options as: Delete older and smaller versions of the same components. After every align, all components are created again. You have to compare any with any to delete the previous versions.
RC for sure is able to compare the image list of each component and
> delete older duplicates (the same image set)
> delete smaller versions (if one of components is built from less images)
> auto delete older duplicates right after align.
> copy component names to the new components
> avoid this method of numbering Component 1 (2) - it causes wrong sort order, better is Component 1_002
thank you for your ideas.
After each alignment are created new components (ideally just one) and with each alignment is the newly aligned component more precise. This is why there is still new component. In RC you can work also with different components, therefore the older ones are not deleted automatically.
Also, you can have georeferenced and non georeferenced components suing the same images.
Regarding to a small components, there is option for deleting or not creating them. After creating small components you can see this window, where you can set the wanted settings. You will open the window after clicking on the Small components part in 1Ds view:
