Hi Andrew, The .ive plugin "should" be just writing out the image once and they refering to this single instance. It would be adding some debug info into the .ive plugin or step throw it in a debugger to find out if it is indeed writing out the multiple times.
If you can provide an example .osg file + imagery then others might be able to look into this issue as well. Robert.

My conversion syntax is usually 'osgconv --compressed-dxt1 in.osg > out.ive'.
