I suspect Raff is correct as you used to have to put in the frame token, which now I looked because of your question has gone!

I think it used to be before the arbitrary tokenization was added, but then disappeared. I might be spectacularly wrong though, it was quite a while ago now last I had to deal with it.

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.

    Thank you all for clearing it up. 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.

    AFAIK it's not part of the tokenization.
    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'm rendering hundreds of different files via script. I can rename

    correctly right away.

    can't you rename it once it rendered?

    Hi list,

    Is there a way to set up a pass such that the rendered file does
    not contain the frame number?
    I want my file to be called "filename.png", not "filename.1.png".

    Thank you

    Christian
