Hey. The screenshot option takes whatever was rendered to the screen and saves it as an image (which is similar to the link you mentioned) but I'm afraid I do not completely understand your ask.

Do you mean rather than having to see a window open up, you just wanted to render the image directly to a file from the command line? Something like: Pathtracer.exe -s cornell.scene -o render.png?

Hi yes that last option you mentioned would be great then you can render 4k or sizes bigger than your monitor

If we get image saving, I hope we get to save an OpenEXR image with it!
