[REQ] Save incremental rendered image?

Post by joegiampaoli » Sat Oct 28, 2006 8:05 pm

Don't know if this is possible and if maybe necessary, but somehow I think it would be good (for strange reasons) to have an option where we could save the rendered image to a different filename (probably incremental) every let's say number of mutations or minutes. This could maybe be good if last save got corrupted for some wonderful and mysterious way, at least we would have the last incremental save before the corrupted one... , filename could be saved as im1234567890-0001.png where -0001 would be the incremental number.

The reason I probably ask for this option, is because there is no way to do a pause-continue process at the moment (I know "maybe" it will be added somewhere in the future, and I think we all hope soon), and this could probably be good in case computer automatically reboots or shuts down maybe because it got a little too hot after long times of processing, or just plain bad luck (call it Murphy's Law) right on the very moment the png file is being written.

Could also be good to do a sample video (frame by frame) of how the rendering process goes along.
