render queue file names

Hi

I have a hard time figuring out proper file naming when using the render queue with multipasses. The filename that is set in the OctaneRender tab of the render settings is overwritten by every subsequent render, but has to be specified to get the passes working. The Two filenames (single and multi) in the render queue items are obviuous, but always deviate from what I set (project_cam01_single.psd -> _project_cam01_single.psd.0001.psd etc.), hence there's a lot of confusion and renaming files.

Am I missing something obvious or is there a better way to handle this? Thanks for your advice.

Lukas

AFAIK you just have to not use the file type (.psd) in the name. It is added automatically according to the file type you choose.
When you type it in the name field it is used as part of the name.
