Hi TomG,
Thanks for getting back to me. I’ve assumed this broken for so long that I’d stopped looking for a solution, but some closer inspection shows that the problem only occurs when using either:
– A relative save path (i.e. “./folder name/…”)
– Naming tokens for folders (e.g. $prj)
This is the case whether rendering TR to PV or with the Server. I usually use both for all of my projects (“./output/$prj/$prj”), hence why renders haven’t been saving all this time. So here are a few examples:
Fails
./output/$prj/$prj
/Users/User/$prj/test
Works
/Users/User/test/test
/Users/User/test/$prj
It’s really hazardous that renders might not save at all, particularly with the TR Server where it’s not possible to save manually. I’m attaching a screen grab showing the Server after two projects rendered with 0 results. Obviously there isn’t always the time to re-render, which is why I think this needs to be fixed or at least alerted so used don’t fall into the same trap.
I’ve experienced this problem with all of the daily builds right back to 2019-09-20 (Corona 5, I think), in Cinema 4D R23, 22 and 21, in Mojave and now Catalina (10.15.6).
