I'm trying out a number of media renders. In this process I'm iterating
round a loop of...
tinker with the settings
render
think
tinker with the settings
render
think
tinker with the settings
render
think
tinker with the settings
render
think
Oh hang on, it was better two iterations ago. What were the setting then???
Darn, I've forgotten!
So what I'm looking for is a tool/facility/add-on that allows me to keep
tinkering with a pov file and saves the source and rendered file away
without me having to manually rename everything everytime.

Maybe subversion is the tool you need:

Create a subdirectory named after the date (down to the second) and copy
all the files into it? This is pretty easy as a batch file in either
Windows or Unix. (Well, trivial in Unix, really. Getting the date into a
format without special characters on Windows is a little tricky.)

Sounds suspiciously like version control to me. Have you googled for
that?

Thanks for your input guys, but it looks like I'm going to have to write
something myself. I think I'll call it... "Tinker".

Have not tried it, but you can probably automate it a lot with a clever
setup of Post_Scene_Commands in the main ini-file already.

Try animation. You don't have to rename the file, you just save. I
frequently use this approach when composing, even stills.

Can you make it available when you finish? I'm tired of saving as
sceneXX.pov :P

What OS are you using? It's a one-line shell script under Unix that you
could either invoke from a terminal or click on the desktop. I could
give you something for Windows the same way almost as easily. (Except
that the Windows shell isn't quite as sophisticated and the "date"
command is too user-friendly there. :-)
