How resume render from Maxwell Monitor 2.0

Hello,
I can not seem to find a way to resume a render from within the network render dialog. Adding a new job only allows me to specify a MXI save path, but not resume a existing MXI.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Gary

I think it's not possible to resume a network render at this time.

It is surprising, as I am only trying to resume a single MXI and send it to a single node. This was easily done in 1.7.

Does it start the render from the beginning when you do this? I haven't tried to resume this way.

Yes, it starts it from the beginning. If memory serves me correctly, 1.7 had a resume check box.

Why not rendering another MXI and then merging with the one you're trying to resume?

Hello Tom,
Yes, that could be a work around, although far from convenient when I am trying to produce a lot if images under a deadline.
My bigger concern is why was this functionality removed from 2.0 and will it be added back in the future.
By the way, other than the resume issue, my experience with network rendering on 2.0 so far is greatly improved over 1.7. It has been very easy to configure, easy to use, and very stable.
Thanks for the improvements!
Gary
