And by current scene you mean - it saves the changes you've made in the GUI to an IGS?

No, it doesn't actually save those settings currently, I'll add that.

Thank you very much!

Some things I noticed...

I really like that the Options dialog remembers its previous state.
Sadly, however, it doesn't read the tags (from the ini or igs) if they are present.
(I tried these: info_overlay, watermark, frame_upload_period and save_igi)

When rendering is paused, the render log continues to update
(with no changes) and the image continues to tonemap & save.
However, this takes almost no cpu.

feature requests:
A new section in the inifile.xml file:
<ui_settings>
<thread_priority>normal</thread_priority> <!-- normal or below_normal -->
<confirm_quit_render_on_exit>yes<confirm_quit_render_on_exit> <!-- yes or no -->
</ui_settings>

Hopefully there is a more concise way to say "confirm_quit_render_on_exit",
but something that would let you stop rendering & close indigo in one click.
Naturally, these would default to current behavior.

Finally, it seems that when using an obj file as an external mesh,
the fo keyword (one-sided face) is not supported. Perhaps this was
by design, but if not, any chance of interpreting 'fo' a standard
two-sided face?

But its just details... keep doing what you're doing!

2.2.8:
* Optimised tonemapping, using less buffers, and made multithreaded.
I tested it in an older scene: launched 2552x1708 with three light layers and...no damn C++ messages!!!!!
I'm quite happy with this, congratulations for your work.

I'm very happy for the additional on-the-run "save igi" option too: it is VEEEERY useful!
Thank you a lot!

SuperSampling works by rendering the Image in higher resolution and the resizing it back.
Everything fine with this my friend :)

It looks like you have the default image save period set to 20 seconds. This is WAY too short. I suggest a minimum of 60 seconds (I prefer 120 or even longer)

I think the rendering options are nice but they should be overwritten by the IGS file.

Hey Ono, the eroor message for missing texture on netrender etwork cache generation could be a little more comfortasble to understand...

At the moment Indigo Indigo only tells you that its unable to pack the scene.
