Fixed
Fixed a crash when rendering an animation while an Image Editor was open. Animation frames now render one by one on Blender's main thread, with a progress bar. Press Esc to stop.
The ASCII result no longer gets recreated when its size changes, so an open Image Editor keeps showing it safely.
Removed the compositor warnings in Blender 5.x; Compositor Preview works the same, without console noise.
New
Auto Preview: the preview refreshes on its own a moment after you change any look setting. You can toggle it with the refresh icon next to Preview (on by default).
Auto Save on by default: ASCII Render saves the PNG automatically and reports where it was saved.
Smarter output folder: leave Output Directory empty and files go into Blender's render output folder, inside a per-project subfolder (<file name>_ascii). The Output panel shows the folder in use, and Open Folder opens it.
Improved
The animation result updates in the Image Editor after every frame.
