Sometimes, if i have a few cameras in the scene for example or when i'm rendering several images from same camera some of the render elements of newest image are overwriting images from previous render, even if the file name is changed, but sometimes not, i cannot get the logic of it.

I am pretty sure this is some kind of 3ds Max bug as file saving and all the "render output" options are handled by 3ds Max.
Try this:
-close the render setup window completely
-enter this line into the maxscript listener and press enter:
Code: [Select]
rendOutputFilename = "C:/1.jpg"Then check if all render element output paths got updated correctly.

Just checked, path changed only for 2 elements:

Interesting. Can you share your scene? (see my signature)
However I doubt it's related to Corona. :/

Sorry for the delay. I've experienced this a few times, but it seems very random, so I cannot reproduce it consistently.
Could you send us any scene where this happens t you? https://corona-renderer.com/upload
Maybe this will give us some clue about what may be happening here.
