I'm wanting to save the DEFAULT render target (The setup in the Octane Render Target Nodes) If I SAVE AS DEFAULT it puts a file called LWOctane.rtd in my user directory (windows 10) Under the .NewTek directory. I see this file is overwritten correctly.

If I SAVE the settings with the SAVE button it defaults to my CONTENT directory and wants to name it renderTarget.dat. If I look at these files in Notepad it seems they are the same format.

When I open LW and switch to Octane Render neither of these files are being loaded as my DEFAULT RENDER TARGET (setup). What am I doing wrong?

I know somehow this use to work because I recognize the setup it loads...which is not how I want things setup anymore.

Please help!

Ah I see what's happening! Maybe some old code here?!?

The render target file that is getting loaded is one called LWOctane.rt

Not .rtd and not from the user directory which is where the DEFAULT SAVE option is putting it.

Might want to look at this setup and clean it up a bit. Or explain how I'm missing it completely :) Cause that's totally possible.

I have a fix for now...
