Im rendering an image, its been going for 3 hours and only now I realized I forgot to turn on save IGI file in blendigo, so i can resume rendering.
is there anyone way of creating an IGI file halfway though rendering?

No, The IGI file contains much more information than the PNG and that information is discarded unless its turned on.

I've done this before
No, you can't do anything about it.
I wish there was a checkbox in the GUI that would allow you to fix somethign stupid like that, or change tonemapping back to 2 mins because you loaded the file with every 10 seconds.

I was hoping Indigo wrote a temp IGI file somewhere while rendering, and then deleted it once you were done...
oh well, live and learn

Any software that could get it out of there?

That would be hard i think since you'd have to get the adress (ram adress, forget the technical term) where that information is stored. Might actually be more than one address, as I believe its one address per variable value ... and then you'd have to copy all that information, and write a text file with it in the right format...
In all honesty, I think the easiest way would be for Ono to do it, but he's re-writing the core of indigo atm i believe.

There's also no guarantees that it's a contingiuous section of memory anyways.
