2.6.2 - preview file format
Posted: Mon Nov 07, 2011 5:04 pm
A very minor issue but it would be great if it could be fixed with the next update;
Sometimes I just do a Render>Preview (instead of a 'proper' Render>Current Pass) and if all is well, keep the render. However with the new plugin, it doesn't seem to be respecting the file format chosen in MaxwellRenderOptions>Channels.
I've set the Color Channel to Tiff and also set the Render>Pass Options>Render Channel Output to Tiff as well as setting Preferences>Rendering>Default Output Image Format to Tiff but the preview still renders as a PNG (interestingly suffixed .tif.png(!)
The only option I can see that might be creating this is in Preferences>Rendering>Render Preview and Render Region, which is set to PNG. In previous versions of the plugin the preview would always respect the settings in the MaxwellRenderOptions>Channels. Is there any chance of reverting the behaviour back to this please.
