Hello? Will it be fixed?

Apart from this what tags can be used?
$OCTANE_PASS$ is one we know that works. Are there any other?

Bump

Any update on this? I'd like to be able to completely control the naming convention on how my files are output. I don't want the default "[OctaneExport]" to appear in front of my numbered sequences. Or if I do put my own text in there, then I don't want the default "_Combined" pass name appearing at the end.

Those bugs look like unsolvable issues as there is no comment whether they will be solved or not. Really strange :/

You can actually specify any Prefix in the Octane Prefix field. I normally use it to specify the filename; any string will work.
About the Suffix, I normally use $OCTANE_PASS$_### (for animation shorter than 1000 frames).
Don't specify any filename in the Output Path, just the path of the folder you want your renders to be saved to.
So, if you specify MyRender_ as Prefix and $OCTANE_PASS$_### as suffix, your file name will be MyRender_OctBeauty_096.EXR for example.
If you also specify the file name in the Output Path, you'll get MyRender_FILENAMEOctBeauty_096.EXR
You have quite a good control on customizing file names.

Thanks Lino for clearing this up. Where can we expect updated manual with all those undocumented features?

Not sure. I'm not directly involved in documentation.
