unwanted composite

[Simon Edmondson]

Having a spot of bother with V17g under OSX 10.85

 

Several things really.

If I do a test render, I get a little window offering up a composite.

Must have turned something on by mistake, but don't know what ?

 

That was irritating before but, now its giving me the composite window but not rendering the file requested.

I changed the scene slightly, did a render to jpg, that doesn't appear where it was supposed to ( desktop ) and the composite window appears with the scene as it was, including the camera effects turned off in the render window ( apply camera effects to render ) ?

 

Its worked well for several months but, in the past few weeks, has developed a habit of crashing when first opened up, before anything is clicked. I then reopen and and it loads fine and opens up the same project without problem when selected from the previous projects list.

 

A further symptom is that, when opening up a project ( both first time, pre crash, and on reopening ) it has lost the location of some files and asks for the location. It hasn't changed since previously and I have then resaved as, with specified location and name but, it happens again next time I try to use it. Seems to lose mainly map files and cho files but models disappear too...

Can anyone kindly suggest a solution ?

Have you tried Help>Reset Settings?

Thank you. That seems to have got rid of the composite.

When adjusting to my personal pref's under tools>options it kept crahing on the action tab ( without me having adjusted anything ) when a warning box came up about valid values.

Subsequently realised it was becase grid was set to 0 by the reset.

seems to be working again now. Thank you.
