It is possible to render without a frame number in the file name. I don't remember how to do it off the top of my head, but I do remember reading about it in the manuals.
Have a look.

Just wanted to make sure that there is indeed no way to set it up using SI options. I added file renaming to the script, and that works nicely.

If you are generating them by script though it should be trivial to rename them by the same script after the fact, unless your script is just a submitter unaware of when the rendering is finished, in that case, if you use any, render management softwares usually allow for post-write procedures and you should be calling the job with one passed on to do it after the fact.

I can rename the files afterwards, but it'd be nice if I could render them out correctly right away.

I want my file to be called "filename.png", not "filename.1.png". Thank you Christian -- Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it!
