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?

A subversion/cvs Gui Extension would be da bomb!

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. :-)

That doesn't help get the source file back to the state you had on the Nth
render though, does it? It just keeps a variety of stills lying around.

I think it is a good technique. I write a debug file with the clock
and the variables so I can zoom in on the values I want. Also
"Subset_Start_Frame" and "Subset_End_Frame" or "clock" are useful as
well. If you really want you can put the variables in the image.

Of course! Havn't been able to spend too much time on it yet as I've been
moving house.
I've got an edit window, with Systax Highlighting. It saves the versions of
the POV File ok.
I stopped on a problem. Maybe one of you guys can give me a pointer.
I can get POV to render the image but it keeps opening the applications
window. Is there a command line switch that stops it opening the POV
application window?

It's moving on. Now exits POV OK and copies the file the source file and
rendered image to a seperate folder. I've also got a viewing window in
place. All I need to do now is a Browseing interface that allows you to
scroll through all of the images in a folder.
