Well, I often make an image, change the file slightly, and want to make a new
image, but the new image replaces the old one, so I have to manually rename
the first image or move it to a different folder; or I have to rename the file
after minor changes. For example, if I want to get different views, I may
simply change the camera angle. But that's why ideally for test renders, I
would like POV-ray not to save the image at all until I first look at it and
request that it gets saved.
