   Yep, same problem here. This wreaks havoc with SENTRY (a directory monitor)

too, since Imagine now tricks SENTRY into executing my scripts at least 3
times
for evey frame: once when the file is initially opened, when it is closed at
the end of rendering, and when it is recreated after the global F/X pass. One
idea I had for making this easier to deal with for all SENTRY and PAR users
is:
create the file in a temp directory, specified in Prefs, and when it's done,
copy it to the Stills directory and delete the temp file. This sounds like a
very simple fix to me.

  Also, has anyone had problems using Depth of Field and Stereo 3D at the same

time? Every time I do this, the boundary between the top and bottom halves of 
the uninterlaced pic is blurred, and the bottom half is skewed horizontally.
