I've always considered it would be a cool feature to be able to update the original MXM emitters used in any scene from the Multilight mixer!
One creates their emitter MXMs for a scene,
Renders the scene with ML enable,
Adjust the light intensities and colours (now) in ML,
Then from the drop down options you can select to update the Original MXM to that currently set and displayed in ML!!!
I would suggest this would firstly update those emitters in the MXS file and from there the user can elect to save out the MXM as they choose! I guess it would be an advantage for the film ISO and shutter speed etc are updated to the MXS.
I can see so many benefits from this simple inclusion, one doesn't have to count on emixer files particularly where a new render of the same scene or differing angle required the inclusion of additional emitters as in this case existing emixer files relative to that scene wont work.
It would also allow for better consistancy accross a range of scenes for inline products. Also one would develop a better expectation of an MXM's result and also allow for better, more accurate preview for ongoing projects where these emitters are to be used!

Move your arse and your mind will follow!
