Hi, I always use resumable rendering for animation renders that take long (4h+/f)
Some of our render nodes are workstations and render only at night.
Resumeable rendering is great because when somebody shuts down the rendering in the morning, it can be picked up by another computer and I don't loose 3h of render time on that frame.
Also, it helps when I forget to raise the task timeout in bb for those renders. Because weaker nodes might need 8h+ and when they cancel because they exceed the task timeout their progress will be saved and I don't loose all the time they put into that frame.
But those files are huge and I have to delete them by hand afterwards. It would be nice if Vray could have an option to do it automatically after saving the final exr.
And please make it ignore that the checkbox is checked when the exr file saving is off. When I do test renderings I only want to uncheck the V-Ray raw image file checkbox not also the resumable render checkbox.
