This has been driving me mad lately:
If I render something over night, and I did not turn on the option that makes OR save the image periodically and OctaneRender hangs when I want to access it (say the next morning), how can I access the rendered image?
I don't really have a chance to click on the render viewport to save the image manually so everything I can do is close OctaneRender and my renders image seems to be lost forever.

Any help in this would be greatly appreciated.

(OctaneRender just becomes completely unresponsive and I can't click on anything. (Task manager says that it's still accessing a lot of RAM at this point)

Your PC is potentially hibernating or going to sleep after the render finishes - and then when it restarts the plugin i not picking up the render result. You might still be able to click the Save button to save the finished render. Also, try turning off Windows sleep/hibernate. I will also look at an option to auto-save the render once it's finished. In the meantime, turn on progressive save.

THAT would be a nice option! :)

(even better if you could use the name of the PZ3 file on that occasion)

I'll be using the progressive save option for now.

However

would be fantastic.
