Automatically Tick Camera

If the preference option "Automatically tick camera in the Rendered Cameras panel when the camera is linked to a render target" is enabled it means that whenever a camera is linked to a render target, this camera will be automatically enabled in the Rendered Cameras panel. Already existing settings(done by the user) in the rendered cameras panel mustn't be affected by switching the preference option. It only affects new camera-rendertarget links.

Disable Previews

It is possible to enable/disable previews by checking/unchecking the "Disable Previews" checkbox from Preferences. If this option is used, none of the images previews will be available. In this way the performances of the application can be improved - especially when there are many imported images.

Screenshot Output Folder

In some conditions the user might need to see exactly the content visible in an opened display. To fulfill such a need, SceneComposer provides the possibility to take screenshots of every display. For this, the desired display has to be opened by double-clicking on the display in the render target tab. The screenshot can be taken by right-clicking on the display in the render target tab and selecting "Save Screenshot" in the context menu or by pressing F12.

After taking a screenshot the destination folder will be opened instantly.
