This checks the layout of the [ui:RenderSettings|Render To File] window. A list on the left splits the settings into three groups — Source, Format & Quality, and Output Target — and a bar pinned along the bottom shows a one-line summary of what you're about to export plus the main Render button. It also looks at the styling of the shared controls (the pill-shaped selectors and the checkboxes) used here.
Step: The window has a sidebar with three sections
Action: Open the Render To File window.
Expected:
- A left sidebar lists Source, Format & Quality, and Output Target.
- The selected entry is bold and reads as one connected surface with the lighter content panel to its right (rounded on its left edge); the other two entries are muted with no background. Hovering an unselected entry shows a faint highlight.
- The sidebar and the margins around the content panel are the dark window background; the active section's content panel is a lighter rounded panel floating on top, with a muted section header.
Step: Clicking a section swaps the content without the window resizing
Action: Click Source, then Format & Quality, then Output Target, watching the content panel.
Expected:
- Source shows Range, Scale, Start/End, FPS, Resolution and Motion Blur.
- Format & Quality shows Render Mode, then (for Video) Codec, Bitrate/estimate and Export Audio.
- Output Target shows the Folder, Filename and Auto-increment controls.
- Switching sections does not resize or move the window, and the footer stays put.
Step: Render Mode and Resolution each appear once
Action: Look for the Render Mode toggle and the Resolution control across the three sections.
Expected:
- Render Mode (Video / Image Sequence) appears only in Format & Quality.
- Resolution appears only in Source.
- Toggling Render Mode changes which controls Format & Quality and Output Target show (e.g. Codec/Bitrate for Video vs. Format/Subfolder for Image Sequence).
Step: Segmented buttons render as a rounded pill
Action: In Source, look at the Range and Scale selectors. In Format & Quality, look at Render Mode.
Expected:
- Each is one rounded track; the active option sits inside it as a filled, rounded pill with bold, bright text. Inactive options are muted with normal-weight text.
- Clicking an option moves the filled pill to it; the track does not change width as you switch.
Step: Checkboxes show a white checkmark in a rounded box
Action: Toggle Export Audio (Format & Quality, Video mode) and Auto-increment version (Output Target) on and off.
Expected:
- Each checkbox is a small rounded box; when on it shows a white checkmark, when off it is empty.
- The hit area covers the box and its label; the box brightens slightly on hover.
Step: The footer shows a one-line summary and a right-aligned Render button
Action: With renderable output, read the footer. Then deliberately clear the Filename (Output Target) to make the settings invalid, and read the footer again.
Expected:
- When valid, the footer's left side shows a single line like
2:12.0s / 1920×1080 / H.264 → ~95 MB / 2 min, and the blue Render button is at the far right (kept off the window edge) with a small open-folder icon to its left. - When invalid (empty filename), the footer line turns to the attention color and states the problem, and the Render button is disabled (its tooltip repeats the reason).
- The open-folder icon is enabled only when the configured output folder exists; clicking it opens that folder.
Step: During a render the footer shows progress and Cancel
Action: Choose a short range and press Render. Watch the footer while it encodes.
Expected:
- The footer replaces the summary/Render button with a progress bar, a "… remaining" estimate, and a right-aligned Cancel button.
- Cancel stops the render; the footer returns to the summary + Render state.
- The section content above the footer stays visible and the window does not jump in size when the render starts or stops.
Step: A non-renderable output shows a single message
Action: Deselect / unpin the image output (or select an operator that doesn't produce an image) so there's nothing to render, then open Render To File.
Expected:
- Instead of the sidebar and footer, the window shows a single explanatory line (e.g. "The output view is empty" or a prompt to select or pin an operator that produces an image).
- Restoring a valid image output brings the full sidebar layout back.
