Support is crap...

...it takes weeks or month for a response - if any.

i saw your script by a friend

i saw your script by a friend and while i think it is nice i immediately noticed some stuff that annoyed me (point 1 and 3) or that i would like to have in SR.

maybe it´s just that i don´t know how to use it.

maybe you can clarify this (you might get a new customer) :)

1) the mini preview always renders the active viewport.
i found no way to tell SR to always use the camera view.
my friend could not tell me if that is possible either.
that is a lot of clicking to always make sure the right viewport is active.

2) some stuff like DR and RT settings need to be accessed over the main render dialog. that makes working with SR not very intuitiv. it would be nice to have options to edit that directly in SR. but that is only a minor thing.

3) the region rendering button should really disable region rendering.
but it does not. i don´t know the logic behind it but sometimes i had to disable region rendering in the main render dialog.

4) a way to enter the bucket size. not just the 4 choices small <-> big.

5) a quick way to enable and disable default lights (for testrenders) from within the SR menu. would fit perfectly in the GLOBAL options i think.
