How do you Preview live render in Gamma 2.2, but without Tone Mapping ??

I am used to vray, where you can keep the live or activeshade rendering window in either Gamma 1.0 (Linear) or Gamma 2.2 (sRGB). Then you can save as either raw 32bit or 8bit.

With OCTANE, either I have to view in Linear Raw, Gamma 1.0 or turn on TONE MAPPING and it looks great, but it is 8bit. How do I keep working in Linear Raw 32bit but with a reasonable preview Gamma like 2.2 ?

Right now I have to GUESS with my adjustments using Tone Mapping, and then render without Tone Mapping, in Raw, and try to get back to where I was before, but with 32bit. This is the only thing that I really don't get about Octane workflow versus VRAY.

I don´t see another way right now then to uncheck tonemapping for final render
