It seems that the Octane LW plugin, when pressing F10, only renders what is specified in the single frame range, but selecting the arbitrary option and entering several frames separated by a comma has no influence, Octane will still render whatever frame or frames are specified in the "single" option. Is there a way to make it follow what's in the arbitrary frames field?

This is not something I normally use, but a render I left working overnight rendered five frames completely black, so I wanted to render only those frames all at once, since my scene is rather heavy and it takes quite a while to transfer the scene to the graphics card VRAM, and then to give me back control of the scene once it's rendered.

Yes, this is a limitation of the Lightwave SDK, that doesn't have functions to read the arbitrary frames information.

I want to add this feature myself along the 2.x development cycle.

Oh well, not a terrible deal anyway.
