"No space left on device" sequence rendering behavior

[torin]

Rendering a sequence to a volume with insufficient storage capacity floods the window manager with error confirmation dialogue boxes but continues attempting to write to a full device

confirmation dialogue boxes block the ability to pause or cancel until the remaining items in the queue have rendered and failed to be written

Thanks for the bug report. Can you tell me the exact text you see in the message box that you receive upon failure to save? Does it say “Could not save file, try saving to a different folder.” by chance?

I am trying to narrow in on where exactly the error is detected.

apologies for the delay, im new to bitbucket

currently in the process of reproducing the error

will post more details asap

“try saving to a different folder” sounds unfamiliar

[Matt Feemster]

Thanks. Or a screenshot of them would be fine too.

[torin]

you were correct, “Could not save file, try saving to a different folder.”

the terminal output reads:

“libpng error: Write Error

writing file: No space left on device”

‌

the stop button on the final render window as well as the stop button in the main window are both inaccessible due to the error dialogue blocking focus at least on xfce

workaround for me was to kill the process with ctrl^c

Ok thanks. I will get on this shortly.

I’ve committed a fix for this. The render will abort after a single image fails.

This seems rare/obscure enough that it doesn’t warrant an entire new release. Are you running from the installer or building from source? If you are building, then you can update your code and rebuild.

If not, then just make sure your disk has enough space before starting a huge render.

[Matt Feemster]

Fixed. Will be included in the next release.

[Matt Feemster]

Done.
