I have spent some more time looking at this issue. I think the best option is as per your suggestion - withhold Placement updates if LIVE is disabled. I will see if this can be done for the next release.In that case, is it possible to add a feature that pauses the updates to the Octane Placement node while rendering is paused?
Right now I've given up on working with complex scenes because the lag I experience while doing so makes it incredibly frustrating.
I could not reproduce this issue on the latest release (2.24.2.5).06 Instant Crash when opening OR Image Browser
If you move/delete the HDR folder you had previously selected a file from, as soon as you choose the ellipses to open the Image Browser, the application crashes. It appears to be trying to reference a folder/file that no longer exists. This may apply to the Image Browser in general - not sure.

btw THIS problem still existsface_off wrote:At a guess, without looking at the code, I would say the plugin is not deleting Octane data with is no longer used in the scene - so it is growing and growing. I doubt there is a quick fix for this - but it needs to be addressed at some point. I will had it to my list - but it might take a while to get to.r1:
i am producing an ongoing comic series, using always the same main characters. whenever i merged them into a scene... or objects into that scene... or generally using the merge function there seems to pile some kind of data crap, just happens when plugin is installed and used. means the problem is caused by octane. so some filesizes grew and grew and grew... what ended up in for example those character .duf file had around 30mb size. even when i deleted for all of the stuff around it, clothing, props and so on again... filesize remained that huge. which results in annoying loading times, around 5-10 minutes. imagine what happens when i merged two of those main characters files and so on... or better dont
my workaround for this issue is... save the figure as character preset and merge it in with a fresh new figure (gen2 female in that case)... after i did that, filesize was again around 500kb again. so its not THAT high priority thing, but still its annoying... maybe have a look for it. i could provide files if needed, the clean and the big one for comparisonjust let me know
nr2:
whenever you save a scene enviroment settings have been saved. maybe thats also a PART of the problem nr1. whenever you merged files, aaaall those preferences have been merged together as well, and so on... after some weeks and months i had hundreds and hundreds of those presets saved for nothing in some duf files... maybe possible to deactivate this "auto save" function?

You can delete the assets (ie. select and delete the environments that you don't need), and then they won't be saved in the .duf when you next save the scene. And, if you merge a .duf, TICK the 4 Preferences->Scene Loading->Don't Load.... checkboxes, and the merged scene assets will not be loaded. Remember to untick those options before doing a normal Load of a .duf.btw THIS problem still exists
