PSD network in maya

Does anyone here still use a PSD Network when texturing in Maya.

From prior experiences. It has slowed my computer down and caused errors when rendering.

But that was a few versions ago. Its just habit to save a TGA by now...

No, but I use this ancient script to manually update PSDs with a single hotkey.

// Updates all file textures in the scene
//
// If nothing is selected, all gets selected and all file textures are updated
// If something is selected the script assumes that this is what needs to be updated 
//
// In the script editor the updated file textures are listed
//
// Last Change: 07.06 (Select all deleted and replaced with faster select all file nodes)
// Author: Alexx
//

string $textureName;
string $fileSelected[];


$fileSelected = `ls -sl -type "file"`;

if ((size($fileSelected)) == 0)
{
	$fileSelected = `listConnections defaultTextureList1`;
	select $fileSelected;
	$fileSelected = `ls -sl -type "file"`;
}

for ($i = 0; $i < `size $fileSelected`;++$i)
{
	$textureName = `getAttr ($fileSelected[$i] + ".fileTextureName")`;
	setAttr -type "string" ($fileSelected[$i] + ".fileTextureName") $textureName;
	print("\nUpdated: ");
	print($fileSelected[$i]);
}

select -cl;
