How do I save as JPG or other?

Um, this is kind of dumb, I'm very new to Indigo, and I am rendering something, almost done, but how do I save the fiinished image as a picture? Like JPG or PNG, etc.

just close indigo when you are ready and look in the 'renders' folder inside indigo's folder for a .png (no .jpg sorry)
wait in the view/save cycle until after an image is saved - see the bottom of the indigo UI for progress - rather than accidently kill it in mid flight which might corrupt the image

note each time indigo saves in the cycle it overwrites the previous periods one. your render will have a number like im1204701137.png

By the way don't worry about corrupting the image, this has been fixed I am pretty sure?

Yes, corruption isn't a problem, an 'atomic' file move operation is used to avoid corruption.

this must be why it hangs like forever now if I do something else just as it saves

No, it 'hangs' because during the tonemapping process, another thread starts doing some serious work, hence less CPU time to go around

I see
well think of elderly single processors operated by elderly indigoists when you do that

But it only does this when closing the Window by pressing the X-thingy.
When closing through File -> Exit, it closes instantly.

Shouldn't this be fixed then?

What about a checkboxs in the GUI to deactivate this and let it just do a crappy fast tm for fast preview?

You should know better than to ask for a non-essential GUI feature kram
