Auto saves after render completion
Having produced some very large resolution renders (3000 pixels and above) that take several hours (because the scene contains many, many lights) I think an auto save option, after render completion, would be helpful.
I once did a long render and while picking up the keyboard to save the image, I accidentally pressed the Space bar which (on Windows) starts the render process again Arrrrr!
How about project title and completion date/time? (taken from the system clock)
This idea is also looking ahead, to the possibility of producing unattended multiple renders, from a favorite positions (views) list, within a scene, a bit like the video mode does but for high quality stills.

Fear of the Stop button!
As an update to my above post.
Possible extra ideas?
So far I have (or the computer has!) been producing a high resolution 4000x3000 render that has taken more than 12 hours (35+ lights) and is still going!
After my above post mishap, I'm really cautious of accidentally making the render window active and pressing any keyboard key, which activates the Stop render button.
What are your thoughts on, pressing the Stop button, a confirmation requester appears, asking "Are you sure you would like to end the render process? " "Yes " or "No "
Thank you Emmanuel for your excellent software!! db4tech
