Hello,

just a simple question : i need to isolate the reflections of objects on a simple ground,
for this i use the layering function and a reflection pass in the render passes, everything works fine
except it won't save my images in the PNG format...If i use the exr layered file format, it will save
my main pass and my reflection pass and i can get them back in after effect with a layer extractor,
In the PNG format, only the main pass is saved on disk...can't figure out what's going on.
For the moment i can deal with the exr format, but the files are huge (15 mb/frame vs 500 kb)
If anyone has an idea of what's happening?
Thanks a lot to all ;)

Thanks, yes I can reproduce this problem ... it seems a problem when the render layers are enabled. Let me check what could be the issue.

There is a bug in the code that builds the file names for PNG files if both passes and layers are enabled. It is fixed now. Thanks for reporting ;)

If you need now a custom build with this fix, please let me know. Anyway I will release a new build of the plugin next week.
