mxcl.exe -a:n-x erros when no frame present..

When running the animation tag ie: -a:1-10 after rendering frame 1 mxcl looks for frame 2 if frame 2 is NOT there then it prompts:

Error: MXS file does not exists
>> Render Successful

instead of not finding frame 2 and looking for frame 3.. as was case in mxcl.exe Beta ..

If possible could you please remove the termination of the render if a frame does not exist untill mxcl has looked for all frames in the frame range.. This was very useful in Beta when rendering every nth frame from a plugin.. To render every nth frame now with mxcl.exe (v1) we would have to enter everyframe that we want to "skip" ie: -a:1,2,4,6,8,10,12,14...
this gets really tedious when rendering over 200+ frames skiping every nth frame by manually typing it in to the command prompt...

Basically I'm asking mxcl behave with animation like it did w/ beta where it would continue to look for all frames in specified range untill it haults.
