File Output: Add button, to resave files
I think it would be useful to have the button in the File Output node to resave files after making changes in the compositor. Currently, we can only save images manually or completely re-render them. IF I'm wrong, please correct me.

Not sure what you mean. If you make changes to the compositor then the final render is expected to change and therefore you have to re-render no? Or maybe you are referring to some sort of caching where only the compositor reruns and not the whole rendering pipeline (e.g. EEVEE/Cycles + Compositor)?
If you make changes in the compositor, they are computed immediately. BUT: File Output saves images only after the render is completed and cannot save changes to files after making corrections in the compositor. So if you want to change, for example, the value in the exposure node and save new results, you must re-render the whole image or even images, and only then, File Output writes new images with those changes on disk. My idea is to add a button to save files again whenever we want, and not only after rendering.
I hope I found the right words to explain my idea and convey my daily pain. XD
