Along with the requestedoption can we please get an option in render globals to "disable all octane render viewports on scene open" (this option would need to be able to be applied globally to scene, not only per scene) --this would help GREATLY in trouble shooting random scene issues.
Today I spent about an hour trying to get a problematic scene to open--which it WOULD open but for some reason, it would freeze Maya as soon as Octane started rendering (it would do every time because I had last closed Maya with one of the viewports set to octane renderview). Eventually I had to give up and go to an older version, losing a 1/2 hour of work and an hour and a half of time.
If I was able to open a blank scene, turn on a global option for "disable octane viewport rendering on scene open", I would've then been able to open my problematic scene and try to troubleshoot the issue. This isn't the only time I've run into the issue over the years, so it would be super useful for trouble shooting problematic scenes. As well, for efficiency on heavy scenes, it would be nice to not have to sit there for a minute while maya/octane translates the scene when it opens, just so I can turn off viewport rendering and get to work.
