would be great to have kind of syntax for Output Autosave

%path - full path to scene (max file)
%filename - exr image filename
%frame - number of current rendering frame

for example expression below will save guestroom_preview_0001.exr in c:/work/interior/render/ folder
Code: [Select]
%path/render/%filename_preview_%frame

amazing!

- is it possible to have an option to keep multiple versions of one image (#kept) when %n tag used?
- would appreciate for %f tag without .max extension (dot cause incomplete file name in Nuke composition software)
- for correct sorting frame count should be 0001, 0002, ... 0011, 0012

thanks

But when I'm using %f it saves project filename in autosave. For example, my project file is 'cube.max' and render output filename is 'cube_camera01.png'. So the Syntax 'autosave_%f' will give me the file 'autosave_cube.max_0001.exr'. This is exatly not that I want.

How to put render output filename in autosave syntax?
