Octane output confusion

[J.C]

Hi, when using Octane output for saving files there still some issues:

• 1. It always saves Combined file or layer.
  2. View layer name is always added regardless the prefix or suffix setting.
  3. It always adds frame number regardless the prefix or suffix setting.
  4. I can't find the list of possible Tags to use. Updated manual please.

I am constantly struggling with this as well.
Regardless of settings, View Layer is always output in the file name.
And we really need an updated manual or video tutorials for new features (and at this point even older ones).

Actually, for the View Layer bug I remember a work around for this issue discussed on the Discord Chanel: simply remove View Layer suffix and after the hashtags for file numbering add a dot (.) and the file extension you are outputting to.

So this works for me:
$OCTANE_PASS$_###.exr

Nice tip!
