Network render - order of renders

Hi Next Limit

I noticed a couple of problems with the network render. Perhaps they have already made it to the bug list...

1. I have a render running (call it job 1). I submit 2 other jobs that will need to run when job 1 is finished (call them job 2 and job 3). When job 1 finished, job 3 starts, not job 2, which to me makes no sense. In most cases it is not a big deal, but it is annoying and counter intuitive.

2. I have tried batch render with no luck. Every time I try a batch render the network monitor lists the type as "cooperative", which I find very confusing.

Hope this helps,

Tom

What are the priority settings on each of the jobs?

The priorities are unchanged from the default.
