Request: separate thread for saving files? #862

Closed Michas0206 closed 3 years ago

Michas0206 commented 3 years ago

Hi, just a thought: Ive seen when rendering many images / a video, it takes around 1-2 seconds (sometimes more depending on file format) for every image to save. So wouldn´t it be possible to outsource the save-process (or all hd activities?) to a different thread somehow to make the save-process running in parallel / background?

Its not very important, but if easy to realize it could save some time for users who are creating videos often.

It would be possible to implement, but I'm hesitating, because the program for a while will require about double amount of RAM

I have just implemented saving of image frames by separate CPU thread.
