Interuptible batch not frame

Hi,

is there a way to set a job to be interuptible, but to only interupt the batch not the very frame. So the job will first finish rendering the frame that is being rendered and then it will be interupted.
The way it works now is that the job is being interupted immediately and frames that are being rendered are not alowed to finish, this way we can lose a lot of rendertime.

thanks

Yeah I think there is no such feature, although there is one for “Turn off worker after current task ends.”
This would be a nice addition!

Lot’s of render engines have ‘resumable’ rendering, or rendering ‘checkpoints’.

I’d love to see this kind of functionality built into Deadline

If these features exist in the renderer, should not be too difficult to get them to work with the Plugin callbacks…
