Pause/Resume Render, Option to save state when stopping
Posted: Thu Mar 16, 2006 2:37 am
I know there has been an option to resume a render in the past, but it would be really nice if you could implement a simple "Pause" (and corresponding "Resume") button. And maybe instead of having to make the render "resumable" *before* you start, you can have a dialog when you press the Stop button that asks if you would like to save a state file so you can resume that render later.
While I'm on the topic, it might also be nice to be able to change the quality/duration settings in realtime, or when the render has been "paused" as described above, so that if you like what you see, and did not give the render long enough, you can still salvage your current progress and turn it into a good, high-quality render.
