This is mainly for raytracing renders. After initially adjusting your settings, it does a full render which takes a decent amount of time. Then once you go through the capture screenshot procedure, it seems to render over again several times even if you haven’t changed anything. I assume this is to show exactly what screenshot you’re going to get, but with raytracing on it’s extremely tedious. I think a solution would just be to have a “Show preview” checkbox that’s off by default. If you want to update the render, you can turn it on. This would prevent unnecessarily rendering the same thing multiple times.
That is an interesting idea @LeeAlacoque !
I totally agree. Maybe putting the render mode to “interactive” would be enough ? Or maybe forcing the number of samples per pixel to a low numbers.
