Hello, I have long term problem with octane, specifically with the render settings out there... If I would like to use only the Octane output specified in the Octane render settings / Render AOV group and for such a reason I do uncheck the C4D's Save/Regular Image... To not render anything else I really need and want (Octane Renderer/Render AOV group /Render pass file) I get unexpected exported files on unexpected locations (beside the original C4D project file).
So When I uncheck the Render settings/Save/Regular Image and leave just the output specified in Octane Renderer/Render AOV group (Save beauty) I get exported images also on unspecified location right beside the original project file... It is weird, Do you know about this issue?
Please let me know, I have found there in the documantation that I should only use the Octane Renderer Output for Beauty pass and everything else, but it causes this problem with duplicating output images.

Could you give me a simple scene to illustrate your problem? I suppose it's not specific to some version!

Hello, I have tested it today and the problem seems to be related to Render Queue, when I do render in Picture Viewer, it is all fine, all specified path for exported images are occupied by exported images I wished to be exported, but the problem is when I rendering with Render Queue... In this way I get one extra png sequence (in my case it is animation of course) beside to the rendered c4d file (project). This problem first occured some time ago, when some new version of Octane or Cinema came out... It is weird bug from my point of view, whenever I export without Save enabled or specified I get extra png sequence (waste of storage of my drives etc...) Please take a look at the test project and see paths / exported files... You will get my point. Let me know please what is causing this to happen.

It's not a controllable behavior from plugin side. Same result happens when you use standard renderer, etc.. if you don't have save file specified.
See output file settings in render queue. It's filled by C4D system, saved file is generated also. Not plugin.
