...especially when many sliders (like the placement ones) are useless to begin with, because of their insane value ranges...

so, yeah +1 on disabling mousewheel scolling - and while you're at it. scalable slider ranges would be awesome too...

Definitely.

+10 for a button that LOCK EVERYTHING not just only a view...

Yah. Lock that sucker down!

tonight i came home and wanted to watch the result from a 12-hour-render. I don't exactly remember if it was just a click or an accidential mouse-wheel-touch, but i just lost these 12 hours of rendertime (and energy-consumption) for nothing!

I really love the fast development and feature-enhancement of octane - but this (a simple confirmation-dialogue) is the most wanted basic feature ever of octane for me! I deeply ask you to introduce a simple solution for this awkward problem.

thanks / br

In the mean time, lock the main window and turn off the buttons that make it render materials when you click on them. This has really saved me.

this was a bit stupid from me - to be honest, i never used/was aware of the "lock this pane"-button...

It now should safe me from 95% of my accidential render-restarts. Sometimes, one just oversees obvious things.

Thanks for the info!

As a final precaution, right above the node inspector, turn off the button for "Enable/diable viewing of material nodes when selected". Its a sphere with an eye over it.
These 2 things have have fully eliminated any accidental restarts from me.

(Now, I have accidentally saved the .ocs file and not the actual image and then closed the program... What I really want is an auto save feature)
