Just seconding Chipp here - there are many occasions where SU is launched merely to model, or convert files etc., as happened to me yesterday, I had a client ask if we could open a rather large SU file and backsave to a 2013 file, I had no choice but to open SU, turn off the plugin (crash), then re-open the large file, save it, re-open SU and turn Octane on again. It is a big usability issue.
Again thanks for the effort in bringing it forward
Thanks,
