Stop typing render paths. Stop overwriting renders.
Zap Output lives inside Blender's Output panel and turns render path management into single clicks — powered by Blender 5.0's native Path Templates, not a custom token engine.
Why "native" matters
Other path add-ons invent their own tokens. Open the file on a render farm or a teammate's machine without the add-on, and the path breaks. Zap Output is different — Blender's own tokens ({scene_name}, {camera_name}, ...) do the work, and dates/versions are stamped as real text (260713, v001). Delete the add-on and every path still renders exactly the same. No lock-in. Farm-safe. Team-safe.
