Sounds like you’re under a lot of restrictions. That does make things tougher. 
I’m not a developer (so someone correct me if I’m wrong,) but since the image 
format setting is in serverconfig.ini that tells me the setting is 
install-wide. Being able to choose a new format for individual tile-cache jobs 
would be really nice, but I don’t think there’s a way to override the 
serverconfig.ini setting at the moment.

Your idea of re-using the tiles with a specific perimeter is interesting, but 
I’ve never tried anything like that. There are several posts here about 
overriding bounds, but restricting to an irregular shape sounds difficult.

Also, make sure you are calculating meters-per-unit and using the official 
method before running mg-cooker if you’re not already. It will dramatically cut 
down processing time.

Thanks James,

For tile cache path, i saw that but when you produce datas every day for 
different project in the goal to copy to another server, we must always change 
the file path for isolate the datas.

“MapGuide administrator” is using by the Gis Administrator not by Gis Data 
Manager.

And gis Data Manager don’t have access to the “MapGuide administrator” and of 
course on the serverconfig.ini, only Maestro and mgcooker.

So like we speak about improvement, it will be great if we could change this 
parameters directly in mgcooker.

For the third one, Imagine you have a big territory on a server (200km x 200km) 
but on another local server you want just use a part of this territory with a 
specific complex perimeter. It’s difficult to get only tiles you need.

So you will generate again the tiles cache and it's again a long calculation of 
few days, sometimes we don't have the time to wait and no enough money to buy a 
server monster... so it's a problem for us

If we have a Shape of the Grid tiles, when we have a lot of tile it’s very easy 
to select tiles with a selection spatial query on it with autodesk Map (look 
below) , make selection List report to build easy a batch to 
extract/copy/delete only tiles you need without generation calculation.
