Output render layers and passes to a single location (No Subfolders)

[Anonymous]

Is there a way I can output render layers and AOVs to a single location, as opposed to the default, which outputs all separate passes to separate subfolders? 

I'm working on a project that involves compositing of individual rendered frames, thus it'd be much faster if I could drag and drop all render passes from a single folder, instead of having to jump into several different folders for a single render. 

Many thanks!

Hi!

Add

<RenderPass>

to "File name prefix" in Render Settings to get unique file names, then the folders are no longer required.

Thanks! 

This works great for AOVs, but is there any way to do the same for render layers?  They're still outputting to separate subfolders.

Hi!

For Render Layers use

<RenderLayer>

Example to handle both

imagename_<RenderLayer>_<RenderPass>

Hello,
Once again, I'd like to raise the topic. Is there a way to get rid of a sublolder with render layer name in the out file - in this example "VFX\" ?  I'd like to have all render layers being saved to the same folder.
