"How not to embed imageData into JSON?" 🧑🏻‍💻

This saves dataset storage size if you need to distribute "image file + JSON file" anyway.

Here are 3 ways: 

Option 1) via Command line

You can pass `--nodata` option when you launch `labelme`: 

Option 2) via GUI

Before saving the annotation, you can uncheck:

File &gt; Save With Image data 

Option 3) via Config

You can edit ~/.labelmerc and set `store_data: false`.

This makes the default of the checkbox in Option 2 unchecked when you open next time. 

That's a wrap!
