in my case , maya.
As I work, I do test renders, at low-res, without channels.
Now when I want to export my scene to render computers I have to go to the render settings and check resolution, channels etc. and if I forgot - I have to do it at each render computer, also check and double check all settings are the same or mxi's will not merge.
So how about the option to add a flag in maxwell settings, that if an "export all" command is launched, the user will be prompted first with the global settings - thus not forgetting to set all mentioned above, and then the export will continue without anything forgotten ?

I don't understand, if you forget something, why not export again? Or better why not just tick the channels you want in the Add Job Wizard? No need to re-export.

as I have a small amount of computers rendering, I don't use network render since I found windows can mis-copy big files (and I use Teracopy, a great app!).
So many times I just export a scene with the render settings set to my test render (like, rs0, 1500X1000) and then I change at 3-4 computers, to rs1, 5000X3333, alpha. opaque, material ...).
Many times I see I forgot to change settings after copying the files... So it's either re-opening the scene and re-exporting and re-copy, or change it at each computer and check to see I didn't made any mismatch between all...
If there was some sort of an option to make the plugin pop the render settings dialog before export (that's a common thing with many engines.... either a pop-up or a radio button to allow you to manually re-open the global settings in case you want to change stuff) - i'll be very happy !

If it is implemented, please make it an option so it can be turned off.

hehe, of course, I noted from the start, that it should be an option, not everyone is like me ... forgetting stuff...
