Based on my testing, the render appears to resume when the app is restarted during an active render. However, under the hood, it actually is starting from the first frame all over again, and either overwriting the output file or entirely ignoring the previous unfinished output file and creating a new one. So, this seems to be just a visual glitch in the software.
Honestly, having a pause, save, and resume-later option would be a total lifesaver, given how long Starlight Mini takes to render. It’d be great to be able to just shut down your PC or use it for other demanding stuff, then pick up the render whenever you’re ready, whether that’s after a few hours or a few days. While I don’t have a background in software development, I imagine this wouldn’t be too difficult to implement. After all, not everyone has a spare machine to dedicate solely to Starlight Mini renders.
